Jakob,

No problem with your UTF-8-- it's my fault. I changed the case to make
it consistent with the "lower-everywhere" I adpoted for English. I
wasn't sure if the cases you provided were intentional.

By all means, change the case to what you feel is most appropriate for
German language software.

I also took the liberty, with the help of a native German speaker of
course (I don't speak a word of German), to modify a couple of the
values in order to make them shorter. Long labels for the vertical
left-hand-side menu pane essentially "break" the UI by squishing
everything to the right. These were the values for "Basic" and
"Advanced" under Configuration. If you don't like the values chosen,
then feel free to replace them, but replace them only with words that
are no longer.

More importantly, during localization, I identified a few strings you
missed ;)

I've uploaded the whole "localization" bundle to the "Files" section
of this group, as a file named "pixory-localization.zip". For each
resource that was localized (where a resource could be a whole page
like Login, or just a component like the ImageMetadata, e.g. EXIF),
there is a corresponding file named Resource.properties.xml. That is
the "default" localization, meaning it contains the value for each
string that will be used when a language is requested for which there
is no other matching localization file. The default values are all
English. Also, for each resource there is a corresponding
Resource_de.properties.xml, which is the German localization of the
strings. In each case where I couldn't find a German translation for a
given string, I put "xxxx" for that value in the
Resource_de.properties.xml and also commented out (XML comment) that
value so that the system will use the value contained in the
Resource.properties.xml file. So to find the strings that we still
need German values for, simply search all of the
Resource_de.xml.properties files for "xxxx".

Yes, we can arrange that. 

Let me know if all (or any) of the above makes sense.

thanks,
