This is not correct. The German translation was updated in the
beginning of 2026 by me, and actually I'm currently in the process of

Let's discuss this in the next days (I'm extremly busy atm), just
don't invest any work yet.

Thanks for the pointer. You do know that we have  long established
lists of translations? (Maybe talk to us first?)

Again, to whom are you talking?

Again, I'm open to help, but let's discuss this (in German on this
list) before you invest any work.
