The L10N team of volunteers (localization and translators) were quick in flagging typos and English mistakes – while translating the help content and the user interface.

The Help pages, which are part of the LibreOffice code, were also refactored continuously for better maintenance and code readability. A total of 650 Help patches were merged in 2022. The documentation community also had a team of Help page bug fixes, closing Help documentation bugs, bridging gaps, fixing typos and improving quality, a must-have update to keep LibreOffice in-shape for its user base. Special thanks to Jean Weber for making the guides available for sale in printed format via Lulu Inc. A number of volunteers also worked in each guide by writing and reviewing contents and suggesting improvements. The updates and enhancements of the guides were an effort of all the team, coordinated by Jean Weber (Writer and Getting Started Guide), Olivier Hallot (Calc and Base guides), Peter Schofield (Impress and Draw guides), Rafael Lima (Math guide). The goal of tracking the software release closely was achieved, and the documentation team is now in a steady state of small updates between releases.

By the year end, all of the version 7 guides updated to match the release of LibreOffice 7.4, and ready to continue for the forthcoming release – 7.5 – which arrived in February 2023.

Throughout the year, the documentation project closed the gap between LibreOffice’s major releases, and the updates of the corresponding user guides. (This is part of The Document Foundation’s Annual Report for 2022 – we’ll post the full version here soon.) New and translated guides In 2022, the documentation community continued to update LibreOffice guidebooks and the Help application
