I know that LO is always compared to MS Office but I don't think cloning all
its details is a good thing (for me those who want a perfect clone should just
buy MS Office). About 7.1 branch, perhaps it was not the right thing to do. I
think being a bit precise sometimes is a good thing.
Now it's just my personal opinion and again I'm not a Spanish native so I'll
let Adolfo judge this and put the adhoc translation (idem for the other
tdf#143712)
