Well, for one, in the case of languages that don't use Title Case for menu commands, it's not obvious that words for "Header" and "Footer" should start with a lowercase letter there. We have "Delete $1" and "Format $1" where $1 can be "Header" or > "Footer". Those are STR_HEADER and STR_FOOTER from > sw/source/ui/docvw/docvw.src and are not used anywhere else, so you > can translate them as you need to fit into the "Delete $1" context.

In Estonian, "Delete header/footer" is "Kustuta päis/jalus", but "Format header/footer" could be "Vorminda päis/jalus" or "Vorminda päist/jalust" depending on entirety vs. partialness [1]. These words just so happen to both take only 't' at the end in partitive form, so "Vorminda $1t" would work, but there may be languages where the words change differently. [1] See e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitive_case As for the Insert Rows/Columns modal dialog, it was a good catch that > needs to be fixed.
