@multitable column entries are for spacing purposes only. In this case, they contain the exceptionally long English names (independent of the document language).

No, definitely not. BUT (!) the @multitable line is just for column width spacing, thus mostly containing the column entry meant to determine the minimum column width. So the @multitable columns contain the entries determining the width of the respective column (just for spacing, they will not be printed). In this case, the longest language column should be as wide as "portuquês o". The longest note name column entry in this case will be the English names, thanks to -flatflat etc.). In other cases, the widest @multitable spacer entries will actually be the column title (hence the misunderstanding, I suppose). The column *titles* to be printed are specified in the @headitem line. They will, of course, vary in the different doc language versions. In summary: Everything's OK. @multitable != @headitem Cheers, Torsten https://codereview.appspot.com/577520043/
