Subject: [PATCH] help flipdim: description fixed and page improved

 * The variable name "sb" and its description were unclear => "blockSize"
 * The description of the blockSize variable was partly wrong.
 * There were no illustrated results
 * There was no See also section

 * The pt_BR and ru_RU pages are outdated after the introduction of the
   "blockSize" option 3 years ago.
   Easier to retranslate from scrach => removed.
