Hello everyone,
Here's a message from Karl Morten Ramberg, who has been doing some work
on the Norwegian translation of LibreOffice. He attached some files, but
because this list doesn't support attachments, I've uploaded them to the
wiki:

Hi Mike,
Yes please, if you would. Here is the description I promised, and some
screenshots of the tool. This is a work in progress and will be extended
over the next weeks/months.
The short version, since you said localisation isn't your area: I have
been working through the Norwegian Bokmål catalogue and built a
workbench to measure and correct it. The first run raised 5,644 things
worth looking at, and 1,867 of those are now decided and applied.
The part that should interest the localisation people beyond Norwegian
is this: most of the keyboard-accelerator problems in the Norwegian
translation turn out to be faithful copies of collisions in the English
source strings. They are not translation errors. That means they belong
upstream, and can be fixed once for every language rather than 115 times
over.
Forward it as it stands or trim it as you see fit.
Karl
