Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Translating ODF files on Pootle

Hello Sophie, Rimas, Andras

I am glad to see that we are making good use of our pootle server.

I have a concern however.

I think it is time to load all our UI and HelpContent strings into 
Pootle. Not only because we, as translators, are always trying to 
improve our work, but also if we will use pootle to translate 
documentation, it may be interesting to use or peek on the help and UI 
strings.

That's it.

Kind Regards
Olivier
