Re: Fwd: [libreoffice-l10n] Strings with placeholders

My mistake from https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/173849. The placeholder 
ist still a good solution for the eight TOX types aka table of content types 
(see sw/inc/toxe.hxx) but it definitely deserves a hint for translators 
(possible even in hrc files). My apologies.
