Re: [libreoffice-l10n] About Calc function FORECAST_ETS_ADD

Hi hihgly-respected translaters,

I think I used consistent instead of constant because the interval may 
be in months, which numerically is not constant (with months having 
different lengths).
And I wasn't consistent in my choice of words...

Probably, 'constant' will be clearer to the user than 'consistent'.
At least it is clear that I am no linguist ;-)

Thank for raising this inconsistency in my text.
