Did you try it on a build? I find more helpful the HelpID: http://people.apache.org/~arielch/images/HelpIDs.png http://people.apache.org/~arielch/images/KIDs.png Searching for fc45ka is not as helpful as searching for CB_REDUCEIMAGERESOLUTION (specially from a developer's perspective, the kid will lead you only to the kid SDF file, if I want to know where in the source code this is used, I have to do another search: http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/search?q=fc45ka&project=aoo-trunk the Help ID leads you to the source code, all the SDF files, you can compare all translations quickly using opengrok, you can narrow your search only for the source code, or only for l10n, etc.: http://opengrok.adfinis-sygroup.org/source/search?q=CB_REDUCEIMAGERESOLUTION&defs=&refs=&path=&hist=&project=aoo-trunk In short, I find more useful a non-pro build, where you can activate extra warnings for overlapping controls in dialogs, text too long to fit in a fixed text, multiple use of the same mnemonic, etc. And you can do much with the help ID (it can be activated in a regular build by exporting HELP_DEBUG=1 Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
