[Libreoffice] Pushing of patches translating comments

[Christoph Herzog]

Not enough really, if you ask me. In writer/sw alone the german_comments 
tool by vmiklos counted well over 20,000 lines of German comments (and 
it does not catch all). Translating and sorting out all will take years. 
And, as you mentioned, some of these comments are real mysteries.

It would perhaps be an option to ask developers what files/comments they 
need translated in the first place and to do these first.

Best
