Re: german translations for beta3

Hi Thomas,

thanks very much for your contribution! I just added it to CVS with a
few minor fixes (Sammstag, Tcicket, z.B. -> z. B.).

I agree with you that the wording should not be too technical. Queue is
certainly not a term familiar to new German agents. "Ticketschlange" is
not really possible, people will start thinking about a snake. :D I
think "Ticketliste" is a good term. For the Dashboard, how about
"Übersichtstafel"? It's not really good, but "Übersicht" is not precise
enough. It must still refer to the Dashboard in some way.

Untranslated texts are a problem. In many places they can be fixed, I
think you can open a bug report if you find something that's in the
de.pm but not translated in the GUI (also look for existing reports).
There are very few places where it is not technically possible to
translate the strings with the current codebase.

Regards, mg
