<pre>Real end users barely understand the meaning of "Enter safe mode" in menu Help.
A better string is recomended.
"Fix %PRODUCTNAME"
"Repair my %PRODUCTNAME"
"Fix %PRODUCTNAME user profile"
"Fix user profile"
"Fix my profile"
"Repair my installation"
"Repair %PRODUCTNAME installation"
(...)
The issue raised because of the many, many end-user asks for support in askbot
related to LO misbehavior, and too often the issue is (can be) a broken
profile. Most of them will not catch the purpose of the "safe mode" and will
overlook the feature.
Worse, in some cultures users re-install LibreOffice from scratch, expecting to
fix a profile issue.
Changing the menu entry as suggested may help end-user, who is looking to fix
his LibreOffice.</pre>
