Confusion with helplines in 3.5

#1

In new 3.5 strings there is new term – helpline. Is this the same as
"guideline" or "snapline" or something completely different?

If it is one of the already existing terms, they should be changed, to
be in line with others.

Hi,

In new 3.5 strings there is new term – helpline. Is this the same as
"guideline" or "snapline" or something completely different?

If it is one of the already existing terms, they should be changed, to
be in line with others.

Helpline was guide. See the commits:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/help/log/?qt=grep&q=Unify+Display+Grid
The purpose of these commits was to unify the terminology. Please let
me know, if you find inconsistencies.

Best regards,
Andras

What I found strange is that "Helplines" appear only in string
"Helplines While Moving". Also, in the logs above most "guides" became
"snap lines". Also this was interesting:
- Text [ en-US ] = "Guides ~while moving";
+ Text [ en-US ] = "Helplines ~While Moving";

- Text [ en-US ] = "~Guides when moving" ;
+ Text [ en-US ] = "~Snap Lines when moving" ;

Also, what is the difference between snap line and helpline? In my
language those two were synonyms.

Christian, we wondered on the l10n list about your commits, can you please explain?

Many thanks,
