Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Translation of extended tooltips

Will the Extended Tips work for locales of LibreOffice that do not have 
a translation of the Help files?

I've tried checking the Welsh translations of the Extended Tips in 
LibreOffice 7.0.2.2 (64bit) but none of the ones translated appear.

I've checked the Tools - Options- LibreOffice - General > Extended tips.

When I try turning them on temporarily Shift+F1 I get a dialog:

The internal LibreOffice help for the UI language has not been installed 
(back translated ;-) )

or nothing.

It could be that none of the Welsh translation of Extended Tips that 
I've done so far have been included in 7.0.2.2.

At the moment I'm not getting anything via any of these options. I'm a 
hesitant to continue to translate the Extended Tips if they will not 
appear without the whole Help files having been translated.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
