Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Unclear string in help file
Hi :) +1 I prefer Italo's suggestion too. Sergio's suggestions seemed fine except that they needed more thes and thats in English. I suspect that translations of it would have been perfect. With these sorts of things i think it helps for a few people to discuss and put forwards alternative suggestions to help us understand what the original was trying to say. It is extra noise/traffic on the lists which some may object to but i think it helps get a better result. Anyway, i think Italo nailed it and i like to think that Sergio and i helped him get there.

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Unclear string in help file
Hi :) Can we push these to the Documentation team's mailing list? documentat...@global.libreoffice.org It really is only an odd 2 or 3 at the moment. It looks like people here are intelligent enough and have an excellent level of English so they are able to make sense of all the rest. It only seems to be an odd few originals that are causing problems but we are all having trouble with those same 2 or 3 statements.
