            Bug ID: 127756
           Summary: Tip of the day: hyperlink to online help page ignores
                    current localisation
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.0.4 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Localization
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: teelittle at gmx.de

Description:
On startup of LibreOffice, you are presented with a "Tip of the Day" (TotD).
Sometimes, there is an additional link below pointing to the online
documentation. 

Today, I get aware of a TotD that links to an English help page, while my
installation is German (and so is the TodT). 
I checked for existence of a German translation of the help page, and yes,
there is one (same URL but the localisation path). 

Currently, I cannot state if this is a general issue with TotD or only affects
certain single TotD's. 

The TotD I saw today (and that exposes the issue) is the following: 
"You can automatically mark alphabetical index entries using a concordance
file."
(found this in
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/69498/37/cui/inc/tipoftheday.hrc )

Not completelty understanding the translation and URL data storage format, I
assume there is a separate data set for each language of each TotD, including
the documentation link for that language?? ((based on reading
https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2019/06/26/how-to-create-a-new-dialog/
) 


Would it be possible just define one (English) base documentation link per
TotD, and then have the localisation part of the URL (".../en-US/...")
automatically substituted according to the currently chosen UI language? 

Steps to Reproduce:
Preconditions: 
a) You have "Present Tip of the day on Startup" activated 
   (German: "Extras > Optionen > LibreOffice > Allgemein"; 
    English: "Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General") 
b) Your UI language is other than English 
   ("Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages" 
    - Language of... User Interface)

1. Open LibreOffice for the first time on that day  
2. See the "Tip of the Day" (if there is no link at the end reading "more
info", then try again tomorrow...) 
3. Hover over the "more info" link to see the linked URL 
4. that URL contains a localisation part ("de-DE" or "en-US" etc.) 
5. notice mismatch between UI language and TotD localisation 
6. have it confirmed by clicking the link and being presented the English help
page 


Actual Results:
When you see the "Tip of the Day" and click on the "more info" link, you'll see
the online documentation in English instead of your UI language. 

Expected Results:
the online documentation page's language should match the UI language of your
LibreOffice installation. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
