--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
Not convinced. Yes in technical English there is a distinction to be made
between nouns "format" and "formatting" where the root verb remains "format".

E.g. "a particular data format requires specific data formatting"

So could make a case for nuanced application, and selective string changes.

However, as the en-US is the core for other translations, the requirement to
distinguish slips. Which way is it handled for translators. In general I don't
believe we are well served by massive string changes propagating as l10n/i18n
translation churn.

IMHO => WF
