Bug ID: 161519
Summary: i18n: convert the strings "The first" and "rows" to
use a variable
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Using two or more mini-strings with unknown content between is bad i18n
practice. KDE calls them "word puzzles":

Better practice, which allows more flexible translation, would be to use a
single string which includes a variable.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. See

Actual Results:
Word puzzle -style strings are used.
Expected Results:
A single string with a variable is used.
Reproducible: Always
