I pasted here a section from en_US.sdf file:
sw source\ui\utlui\utlui.src STR_CONTENT_TYPE_OUTLINE Headings          
sw source\ui\utlui\utlui.src STR_CONTENT_TYPE_TABLE Tables
sw source\ui\utlui\utlui.src STR_CONTENT_TYPE_FRAME Text frame
....
and another, some lines further:
sw source\ui\utlui\utlui.src STR_CONTENT_TYPE_SINGLE_OUTLINE Heading
sw source\ui\utlui\utlui.src STR_CONTENT_TYPE_SINGLE_TABLE Table
sw source\ui\utlui\utlui.src STR_CONTENT_TYPE_SINGLE_FRAME Text frame

First entries (without SINGLE) are used in two places:
- in Navigator list
- as part og Navigator list entry tooltip, when count is bigger than 1
Second entries (with SINGLE) are used in:
- as part og Navigator list entry tooltip, when count is 1

This is a very bad design. 
Tooltips look like: 0 Headings, 1 Heading, 2 Headings. This may be OK in
English, but not in A LOT of other languages.
Please:
- separate at first strings for entries and for tooltips, as these are not
identical in many languages.
- mark the count with %1 variable, so translator can change word order in
tooltip, to make visible string more acceptable (like original "%1 Headings",
translation "Headings: 2"), as we still have no plural handling in OO.o
localization, only ugly workarounds.
- raise the priority of issue at least to P4, as this is very visible (we all
the time suggest new users to use Navigator as one of the OO.o key parts...)
- when all the previous is impossible to implement in next 3 years, switch off
tooltips in Navigator list, it is not a big loss, at least word combinations
with no sense were not displayed.
(Of course, its not only about sw module, this affects all Navigators, in Calc,
Impress, etc.)
