Just one remark about the German strings themselves. The KDE 
translation for "de" (and a lot of other language teams) 
strictly tries to avoid any "personal strings" for program 
messages. (IOW: don't have the program say "I" or "me" and don't 
have it addressed as "you".) This, BTW, seemed also preferable 
to our English proofreaders but they never dared to change the 
original strings accordingly.

For the German strings in question this would mean eg:

> "Partitioniere und formatiere die Festplatte"

-> Festplatte partitionieren und formatieren

> "Kopiere die Dateien von der CD auf die Festplatte."

-> Dateien von CD auf die Festplatte kopieren

Regards,

Thomas
