Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Nonprinting Characters and AutoSpellcheck tooltips

Hi :)
+1
Nice catch!

I guess we often don't notice these things because they have become part of
our "technical language".  However, i agree that people who don't spend all
day using these tools probably think it looks clunky and it's probably
difficult to translate into some languages, unless people have assumed it
was already the way you suggest.  (Btw I think that is one reason that MTs
probably wont catch-up with human translators.  They can be a good tool
sometimes but too often they get it hilariously wrong where a human can be
more creative)
