Oh, good that you remind me to take care of translating. At a glance I 
see, that I have to add the new strings to 
svx/source/dialog/sdstring.src. Need to look further around, to find 
other necessary changes.

The file format uses 'name' in content.xml and defines 'name' and 
'display-name' and path description in style.xml. As far as I understand 
it now, the 'display-name' is used to identify the RID which is used in 
the *.po files, the 'name' is only used, if no 'display-name' exists.

The lists in Format->Lines and from the toolbar have already a scroll 
bar. So I think, that it is not necessary to change it. A too large 
window for those lists might not work on netbooks.

As always, I'm slow. And I'm hit by the problem, that there is still no 
windows build possible.

Kind regards
