Thank you very much! Pushed. Welcome as a LibreOffice contributor!
A couple of minor requests for you future patches: Please do combine
changes to several files into one patch, easier to handle them that
way... For translation patches, something like half a dozen files per
patch perhaps is ideal?
It is unnecessary to translate comments that we consider pointless,
like the kind that say why (at some point in time) a header was
included.
#include <swundo.hxx> // fuer die UndoIds
Just remove such comments.
You can also just remove information-free boilerplate function header
comments like:
/*************************************************************************
|*
|* void SwHistory::Add()
|*
|*
*************************************************************************/
these just waste vertical space, which is the most valuable resource
in a source file;)
And finally, in comments like:
+ //JP 20.04.98: Bug 49502 - When a formula is set,
never save
+ // the value. It possibly must be recalculated!
+ //JP 30.07.98: Bug 54295 - Save formulas always in plain
+ // text
the initials and dates are of questionable value; we have version
control for changes since 2000. Also, for comments this old, the bug
number is meaningless. So the comment above could be edited into
something like:
+ // When a formula is set, never save the value.
It possibly must be recalculated.
+ // Save formulas always in plain text.
(Yeah, the over-enthusiastic use of exclamation marks can also be reduced...)
