            Bug ID: 142813
           Summary: Misleading translation of "Shortcut:" to
                    "Tastenkombination:" in German localization of
                    AutoText definition dialog
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Localization
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: uwe at franke-auer.de

Description:
Defining an AutoText through "Tools -> Autotext" allows to define a "Shortcut:"
for the AutoText (second input field within the respective defintion dialog).
Using the native English UI dialog, this field is labelled "Shortcut:" and
translated to "Tastenkombination" in a German (Germany) UI language. This is
misleading to some extend. The term "Tastenkombination" implies, that it is
sufficient to press the keys defined and the action will take place. Of course
this does not happen here. In fact one needs to type the "shortcut"
(intentionally avoiding the term "Tastenkombination" here) followed by key
"F3". In that sense the input in that dialog is an "abbreviation" for the
AutoText, which should be translated to "Kürzel" in German language, There are
places, where the term "Kürzel" is being used correctly in the context of
"AutoText".


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set LibreOffice to UI language "German (Germany)"
2. Open a new Writer document
3. Type any text
4. Select the text
5. Go to menu "Tools -> Autotext"
6. Notice label "Tastenkombination:" of the second input field

Actual Results:
Second input field on AutoText definition dialog shows "Tastenkombination:"

Expected Results:
Second input field on AutoText definition dialog shows "Kürzel:"


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
