Description
Currently the Windows menu lacks of an own help topic. It shares one [1] with the Toggle/Sidebar actions [2] named /Help/ToggleDialogs [3].
Maintenance, context sensitivity and translation are lacking under this bad structure. Help pages with only one topic are best.
So MainMenu.java needs to be changed to create an own target topic [4].
Target should be /Help/Menu/Windows [5].

Thanks for submitting, but it turns out that my patch was crap. I missed the correct directory structure.
Currently the help topic is /Help/Windows
It needs to be /Help/Menu/Windows
The new patch is attached.

Is there an impact for the translated pages? What happens to /ToggleDialogs pages?
Is it enough to add the translation macro to Help/Menu/Windows and create the xx:Help/Menu/Windows pages?

Replying to leni:
What happens to /ToggleDialogs pages?
That page remains and is now solely for the Editbar and the Sidebar.
Is it enough to add the translation macro to Help/Menu/Windows and create the xx:Help/Menu/Windows pages?
Yes. But the original page in English is currently incomplete and describes only two parts of the menu. Please see https://josm.openstreetmap.de/browser/josm/trunk/src/org/openstreetmap/josm/gui/MainMenu.java?rev=16102#L399 for the third group.



Patch to replace /ToggleDialogs with /Help/Menu/Windows/
