The same text maybe should be translated differently for different contexts.

Well, we have more than 1800 rules for German, would anybody really go
through them and add those attributes? (That's not a rhetorical
question)
But only 37 % of them have more than two examples.
Is it planned to only show two example sentences and test whether they
are the same sentences,
does anybody see tooltips when hovering over the icons in the
