Yes, unfortunately we have a lot more helppack entries than actually needed.
Probably it was a copy&paste from other part of the code. Sorry for the
repeated strings. I already proposed to review the list of languages in
libreoffice@fdo list, it can be a part of that.

Repetitions should really be handled by the translation tool. It is not
desirable (or sometimes not even possible) to re-use the same source string
in a different context.

Do you refer to the readme?
