[Libreoffice] Nonsense comments?

[Christina Roßmanith]

Hi,

I admit, I can't follow the discussion. But during translation: are the 
'~' important?

Some lines of a diff for translation of comments:

-            /* ### ACHTUNG: Neuer Text in Resource? Grafik ~kopieren : ~Grafik kopieren */
-            /* ### ACHTUNG: Neuer Text in Resource? Grafik ~kopieren : ~Grafik kopieren */
-            /* ### ACHTUNG: Neuer Text in Resource? Grafik ~kopieren : ~Grafik kopieren */
+            /* ### ATTENTION: new text in resource? copy graphic : copy graphic */
+            /* ### ATTENTION: new text in resource? copy graphic : copy graphic */
+            /* ### ATTENTION: new text in resource? copy graphic : copy graphic */

And it seems that there is a certain redundancy. Or is it important to 
keep three copies of the same line. Is "ACHTUNG" a keywort which is 
searched for? Or is it safe to translate it to "ATTENTION"?

Thank you for any low-level explanation  :-)
