            Bug ID: 133998
           Summary: LO7: new/updated Help entries split in middle of
                    sentence and served separately as tips - not
                    acceptable for l10n
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.0.beta1+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
Since LO64 some documentation team members updating/writing help content have
started programming help contents - by splitting existing help strings (adding
xml code - to display only parts of that string as tips).
That might work for those particular English strings, but does not work for
Slovenian and probably many other languages.
So please stop this immediately and return all those strings back and duplicate
sentence parts as separate strings available for l10n!
Example:
<emph>Low</emph>: 7% of codewords can be restored.
became
<emph>Low</emph>: <ahelp hid=".">7% of codewords can be restored.</ahelp>
In Slovenian:
<emph>Nizka</emph>: obnoviti je mogoče 7 % kodiranega besedila.
cannot be localized into 
<emph>Nizka</emph>: <ahelp hid=".">obnoviti je mogoče 7 % kodiranega
besedila.</ahelp>
because a new sentence must start with a capital letter, correct would be:
<ahelp hid=".">Obnoviti je mogoče 7 % kodiranega besedila.</ahelp>
But in the combination with "<emph>Nizka</emph>:" it should start with a small
letter.
So this is not localizable into Slovenian anymore.

Please start addressing the needs of non-English languages and stop
"programming" help strings.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LO and use tooltips.
2.
3.

As explained above.
