Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Some tooltips not translated in LibreOffice Writer 25 and 28

Hi Christian, *,

thanks for your quick reply.

We noticed also that a similar problem occurred for the "Gallery" in the 
Side Bar.

- In LibreOffice v. 25.x, the names of the Icon groups (Flowcharts, 
Charts, Arrows, etc.) appear *translated*, but not the names (tooltips) 
of the various icons.
- In LibreOffice v. 28.x, the names of the Icon groups appear 
*untranslated*, and also the names (tooltips) of the various icons.

We suppose it is a matter of hardcoded strings, but in this case, even 
if they are icons/icon group, we think it should be better to have them 
translated.
How can we manage this issue? Is it possibile to integrate these strings 
in the different projects?
Alternatively, can we translate them in another way?

TIA.
