[libreoffice-l10n] Fwd: LibreOffice Norwegian translation testing

Hello everyone,

Here's a message from Karl Morten Ramberg, who has been doing some work 
on the Norwegian translation of LibreOffice. He attached some files, but 
because this list doesn't support attachments, I've uploaded them to the 
wiki:

Hi Mike,

Yes please, if you would. Here is the description I promised, and some 
screenshots of the tool. This is a work in progress and will be extended 
over the next weeks/months.

The short version, since you said localisation isn't your area: I have 
been working through the Norwegian Bokmål catalogue and built a 
workbench to measure and correct it. The first run raised 5,644 things 
worth looking at, and 1,867 of those are now decided and applied.

The part that should interest the localisation people beyond Norwegian 
is this: most of the keyboard-accelerator problems in the Norwegian 
translation turn out to be faithful copies of collisions in the English 
source strings. They are not translation errors. That means they belong 
upstream, and can be fixed once for every language rather than 115 times 
over.

Forward it as it stands or trim it as you see fit.

Karl
