The Attributes checklist [1] dialog of Find & Replace is populated and sorted
from the RID_ATTR_NAMES listing in:
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/svx/source/items/svxitems.src

Which is submitted for l10n translation via Pootle as Sophie notes, and is
correct.

IIUC actual choice of "Font Weight" to label SID_ATTR_CHAR_WEIGHT is quite old
in the source dating to Java practices of OOo. But it is a common way to refer
to the "boldness" of a font by its stroke weight. 

As you note, font-weight could describe multiple values of "boldness"
[thin|extra-light|light|normal|medium|semi-bold|bold|extra-bold|black] and
corresponding to use in font metrics, but in LibreOffice's UI we only implement
a edit engine VCL rendered "bold" font effect, or "normal".

Similar challenging translations are "Font Posture" for normal|italic|oblique,
and there we just have an "italic" rendering, or "normal".

But folks should understand that using the attribute dialog we don't search for
a specific attribute--rather we search for a text or paragraph style class
where the selected attribute value is set to other than defaults.

So don't see much justification to require rewording the Attribute listing, nor
for annoyance of retranslating.

@Tamás ?
