Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Note to translators in NatNum12 help files

Hi Sophie, Dear translators

I must admit I got quite confused (and the subject is confusing indeed).

The page is this one:

https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/text/shared/01/05020301.html?&DbPAR=CALC

and my master build shows nothing when [NatNum12] is used.

Some questions:
1) Where are these XML files?
2) Is there a working example?
3) Should the help content give examples?

Help welcome, the numbertext feature is a must and deserves better
description and usage contents.

Kind regards
Olivier
