Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Translation of incorrect formatted strings

Hi Martin, *,

yes, this or another approach... . But sadly, we still haven't one. At 
least I am not aware of such.

I am a translator, mostly fixing stuff in our own translation or silence 
false positives, when they occur for better overview.

So I stumbled over the failures in our help text sources, and since I am 
able to contribute there myself, thank to:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/GerritEditing .

I do not longer waste my and others time to report them.
In opposite, I asked to forward such reports to me, so I can look into 
the correspondending file and correct,
what I find there.

But for now, I know I have to be a bit reluctant for the reason already 
mentioned.
