Re: call for translation updates for Debian Flyer

Hey,

Sorry for the confusion. I was talking to Joost in that email. My bad for
not making that clear.

About the German translation – I did not realize you already updated it in
early 2026. Good to know. I also did not know about the po4a conversion. I
will hold off on doing any work for now. Let me know when things settle
down for you and we can talk more.

Thanks for the pointer about the Wortliste. I actually did not know about
that list. Good resource. I just shared that other link as an example but I
get what you are saying. Next time I will ask first.

And yeah the adjustable seats quote was aimed at Joost because he had it in
his email signature. Just thought it was a good quote.

Let me know when you have time to discuss the German flyer. Happy to help
just tell me what you need.

Cheers
