I was helping someone last night who wants to switch their business IT to
LO but was having a lot of trouble with converting a letter template to LO.
I learned a lot about styles... but that aside, I also ran into a string
which I feel is not worded as well as it could be, it's this:

Perhaps I'm still misinterpreting the string "Same content on first page"
but I struggled a lot trying to figure out what this setting actually does.
It's partly to do with the fact that when you create a new page, the header
is Default Header and not First Page. So when I tried to suppress the
Header on subsequent pages, I initially did not attempt to untick this box.

In the end, the right 'constellation' seems to be (to have a header only on
the first page) to use First Page on the first page and leave "Same content
on first page" ticked and to use Default on subsequent pages and to untick
"Same content on first page". Now I'm not sure if the First Page header
should actually display this setting but from the point of view of using
this in subsequent pages, it occurred to me that wording this "Display same
content as on first page" (might even need caps if it refers to the style)
would have been clearer.

The reason I'm posting this on l10n is because I was initially worried I
had messed up the translation but turns out I didn't - but I was wondering
how other languages translated this and if it works in other locales or if
there also is a comprehension problem?

Cheers,
Michael
