            Bug ID: 161519
           Summary: i18n: convert the strings "The first" and "rows" to
                    use a variable
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: tuomas.hiet...@iki.fi

Description:
Using two or more mini-strings with unknown content between is bad i18n
practice. KDE calls them "word puzzles":

Better practice, which allows more flexible translation, would be to use a
single string which includes a variable.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See

Actual Results:
Word puzzle -style strings are used.

Expected Results:
A single string with a variable is used.


Reproducible: Always
