Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Fwd: Re: issue 67093: mix between Title and Header in various l10n

Hello

I wanted to give some clarification as to why I wanted to consider a 
name change of the paragraph style "Title". First of all, let me say 
that I don't really have an issue with the descriptiveness of the name. 
It is the name that is used by programs as Microsoft Word, Pages (from 
Apple), and others.

If we can get a check in Pootle for this issue, I think that might be 
enough. We should not change the names of the styles if we don't have 
really good reason for doing it.

Before this release something must have happened to trigger the 
"retranslation" of the style name "Title". Now something made Pootle 
"think" that Rubrik (Heading, in english) was the word I was looking 
for. The time I can spend on translating is limited and at a glance, it 
looked like a safe translation, thus I accepted the change without 
looking to closely at it. Having a more specific name for the style such 
as Main Title (compare to Subtitle) or Document title would make it 
easier for Pootle to give me the correct translation from the start. It 
would also make it easier for me, as a translator, to know how to 
translate the string in the first place.

I repeat, if we get a check for this I'm perfectly fine leaving the name 
as it is.

Regards,
Niklas
