OK, I see now.

We translate from PO files, and both of these are from
officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI.pot

The POT file crossreferences the file GenericCommands.xcu in case that's what
you need.

OK, thanks - I see this in the interface now.    Seems to me the English message
could be improved by just using, say, "Print options...".

Great, that's clear.

Some googling suggests that "Group keep together" parses like "Group: keep
together" - if that seems dimwitted to anyone please let me know.

reportdesign/source/ui/inspection.pot

which cross references inspection.src.


Thanks again - I'm hoping to decode the 30 or so strings we have left using the
French glossary you linked in your previous message.

Best regards
