Re: [libreoffice-l10n] How to find Weblate descriptor of string in UI?

Hi Lars,

You need to install an alpha or beta release of LO and the "KeyID"/"qtz" 
pseudo-language which contains the codes (on Windows you can just check 
the box in the installer), and then switch your UI language to it:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language#KeyID

Developers BTW: could we have enabled for stable releases too? I don't 
really see any downside and it would help translators to have it in all 
releases:
