yes it has nothing to do with documents, but it has a lot to do with the
UI, which seems to be equally touchy

Examples below...bear in mind this is not a complete list, and just for
.src, I have also seen same tendency in .ulf files.
I have tested with the resource compiler:
1) duplicate strings, no problem
2) [ de ] strings, when I simulate a merge from de lang, the translated
strings is not used
3) missing [ en-US ] shows english text in my spanish UI.
accessibility / acccessiblestrings.src
String RID_STR_ACC_ACTION_DECBLOCK
{
Text = "decrementBlock";
};
cui / cfg.src
PageItem
{
Identifier = RID_SVXPAGE_MENUS ;
Text [ de ] = "Menüs" ;
Text [ en-US ] = "Menus" ;
PageResID = 300 ;
};
cui / autocdlg.src
CheckBox CB_AUTOABBREV
{
HelpID = "cui:CheckBox:RID_OFAPAGE_AUTOCORR_EXCEPT:CB_AUTOABBREV";
Pos = MAP_APPFONT ( 137 , 78 ) ;
Size = MAP_APPFONT ( 111 , 10 ) ;
Text [ en-US ] = "~AutoInclude";
Text [ en-US ] = "~AutoInclude" ;
TabStop = TRUE ;
};

which is why I ask. The introduction of genLang calls for some major edits
of the language files because a number of keys change...I will do these
edits so we have all languages at the same level as before the change, but
I want to be 100% that I do the right thing.
