There is not one "consistent" way but several ways. It depends on where 
in the UI the string occurs, a menu, a symbol bar, a dialog, an error 
message. I have written some examples, from where you can get some ideas 
for searching.

Yes it is. For tabpages you find all of its strings too, if you open the 
file for example in ViewVC or Opengrok (see Pootle user guide). Looking 
at other strings from the same dialog tabpage is indeed helpful to find 
the dialog.

The Pootle User Guide has a lot of information in the meantime. I think 
it is already worth a look, although it is still work in progress. Help 
is welcomed ;)

Kind regards

There is a methodical way to navigate from a UI element to the text 
string describing it, but I'm yet to learn of a consistent way to 
navigate from a text string to it corresponding UI element.

I've look at the string context of the phrase you're translating, also 
at the location reference (which also contains some valuable 
information). My guess would be it is "the style for the beginning of a 
line".

Localize.sdf vs PO

Posted by Aivaras Stepukonis <as...@gmail.com>.
Issue:

In PO [officecfg\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\UI.po], the string 
[GenericCommands.xcu#..GenericCommands.UserInterface.Commands..uno_InsertTimeField.Label.value.text] 
has "~Time" whereas in the "localize.sdf" the same string [9n403n] has 
"Time Field."

"~Time" is more appropriate because in the UI it is preceded by "Fields" 
(Insert > Fields > Time) and thus should be interpreted as an 
attributive adjective, i.e. "A Time Field."
