            Bug ID: 133750
           Summary: Separate label and tooltip in Navigator as different
                    translatable strings
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Localization
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

The Navigator in the sidebar shows a list of different objects with labels and
mouse-over tooltips, e.g. "Headings" and "# Headings" respectively in Writer. 
Currently these two pieces of text use the same string (KeyID TF3Q9 and context
STR_CONTENT_TYPE_OUTLINE in the case of Headings, I'm not familiar enough with
the code to locate the exact place it is used), and while OK in English, it
causes inconvenience for translators of other languages.

In my case of Chinese, it's because we use "measure words" extensively (think
"piece" in "a piece of bread"), and would want to put measure words in the
translation of "# Headings".  With the current setup it's not possible.

I imagine languages with multiple plural forms would like to see this change as
well, see bug #132932.
