help about "conversione"

As requested, referring to bug 96138, and also 69539.
In MS Excel there is only the CONVERT function (an engineering function to
"Converts a number from one measurement system to another. For example, CONVERT
can translate a table of distances in miles to a table of distances in
kilometers.".
In LO, searching into IT help about "conversione" I can find only ...(see the
IT attachment) and that one refers to Writer (why in Calc help?), searching
otherway about "CONVERTI" I found nothing but ... (see the attachment): it
seems the same Excel function and the help too says "Converte un valore da
un'unità di misura a un'altra unità di misura" (that is "Convert a value from
one unit of measurement to another unit of measurement") but in reality it
converts only currencies.
No one reference to other similar functions, it is very difficult, not knowing
this, to find references to other functions (as CONVERTI_ADD which does all
other types of conversions).
Further I note about "Welcome to the LibreOffice xxx Help":
Find - The Full-Text Search. The full text search function in LibreOffice Help
allows you to find Help documents that contain any combination of search terms.


Then I'll suggest to correct the helps and warn about this for CONVERT, adding
there a reference to the CONVERT_ADD function too.
And this is true from the original English version.
Please do not consider all this a sterile criticism, it is not so but hopefully
an enhancement.
Thanks very much.
