Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Wikihelp/Help Wiki/Online Help/etc... needs one clear name

I am looking at it from l10n perspective. "Online help" in most languages
means help online, on the web. While it is actually meant as
embedded/"inline"/offline help. So I just hope all translators translated
it properly. So maybe English names for it should be chosen carefully also
for non-native English speakers.
