translations: add German translation #6601
Conversation

I think we should block any translations without an associated maintainer. Thoughts @pluiedev? The expectation would be that they'd be part of a team that CODEOWNERS this file along with the template file so they're notified of any changes as well. If so, would you volunteer @rpfaeffle? |

I would be happy to volunteer (at least for |
There really should be multiple maintainers so that more than one person reviews any translations before they are committed. |

I agree that for a major language like German the maintainer count should be at least N = 2. For minor languages N = 1 could be fine, but we'll see. It should be noted that new language submissions, IMO, should imply that the submitter agrees to be responsible for its maintainership for the long term. If someone doesn't want to take up that responsibility then they shouldn't contribute: no translations > crappy, outdated, unmaintained translations. I should probably add that to the translator's guide. |
I agree but in the interest of bootstrapping, I'd also be comfortable for major languages that are relatively easily verifiable to fallback to verifying with something like Google Translate or even an LLM. I know they're not perfectly accurate (and sometime wildly so) but as a baseline "well, it's not a racial slur" check it should work well enough. I agree I'd prefer N >= 2 though. |

I'm a bit concerned as to how long this gets. Maybe we should split this string on the English side (so no action required from you for now) so that the two uses of Split gets separated between the context menu and the titlebar menu.
Since the titlebar menu doesn't have groups like the context menu it's fine to spell this out in full, but in the context menu it would look like "Fenster teilen > Fenster nach rechts teilen" which is quite long and redundant. Best would be "Fenster teilen > Nach rechts" I think.

I thought the same. For the context menu it would definitely be too long in my opinion as well. I agree with you that "Fenster teilen > Nach rechts" would be the best option .

duinstead ofSieas this seems appropriateto me.
Window(Fensterin German) to all split commandsas it appears more naturally to me.
