Here is the explanation, as it applies to our books.

[libreoffice-documentation] translation of index entries

Hi,

we have a small problem with index entries in translation of the GS
guide to Slovak.

To explain: technically, there are two types of index entries,
independent and shared (may own names :)). In the first type, the
entry is independent of the guide text, while  in the second the entry
shares the guide text. The first is presented as a small gray blob
between words, in the second case the shared text is displayed in
gray.

The second type causes problems in translation to languages with
inflection, since inflected words get into the index.
We thus need to get rid of the shared entries and to replace them by
independent ones.
