Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Mistakes in source strings

Hi Annabelle,

I think you are right, the rules are laid down in UX Guidelines, cf.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Guidelines/UIWriting
However, LibreOffice is a huge project and you cannot expect that every UI
string (some were added 20+ years ago) complies. I'm not a big fan of
cosmetic changes, because they create work for translators. But I'm not in
charge and would not oppose such patches from contributors.

Best regards,
Andras
