Needs changes
The translation is close, and the floor bump, the mirror allow-list and the tier test change are right. Two strings are functionally wrong and a dozen carry grammar or consistency slips. Please fix these in de.ts before it lands.
Functional:
agenda.maxFocusItems:{{count}}was replaced by the word "drei". The focus limit is a user setting, so the label is wrong for every value except 3. Keep the placeholder:Max. {{count}} Fokus-Element(e)or similar.dailyReview.focusDesc: the English says "Optional: mark tasks to keep visible in Focus today". The German drops "optional" and hardcodes a limit of three. Something likeOptional: Aufgaben markieren, die heute im Fokus sichtbar bleiben sollen.
Wording:
projects.reviewAt:Datum überprüfenreads as a command. It is the "Review Date" field label, e.g.Überprüfungsdatum.quickAdd.pastedImageSaving:Hände Bild an…should beHänge Bild an….settings.speechModeTranscript:Nur transkripierenshould beNur transkribieren, matchingsettings.speechModeHint.review.allDoneDesc: stray "für" inDu bist für bereit für die kommende Woche.review.projectsHint:abgeschlossen Projekteshould beabgeschlossene Projekte.next.warningHint:eine besser Übersichtshould beeine bessere Übersicht.calendar.overlapWarning:mit einem bestehendem Terminshould bemit einem bestehenden Termin.inbox.waitingHint:um sich zu erinnern, auf was Du wartestshould beum Dich zu erinnern, worauf Du wartest, asprocess.waitingForDescalready has it.inbox.waitingPlaceholderandprocess.waitingPlaceholder:Jonathan'sshould beJonathans.review.inboxStepDesc: the English says "Clarify and organize", and Clarify is the GTD step name.durchsehenmeans look through;Deine Eingangs-Einträge klären und organisieren.keeps the term and the linking s.
Consistency:
nav.boardsaysSpaltenansichtwhileboard.titleandtab.boardsayTafelansicht/Tafel. Pick one.next.noTaskscalls the listZu erledigenwhilestatus.todo,list.todoandboard.todocall itZu tun.- Button labels such as
settings.checkForUpdates,settings.checkStoreUpdates,settings.attachmentsCleanupRunandsettings.dropboxDisconnectbecame commands to the user (Suche nach…,Überprüfe…,Führe… durch,Trenne…). German UI buttons use the infinitive:Nach Aktualisierungen suchen,Microsoft Store prüfen,Bereinigung ausführen,Dropbox trennen. - Capitalization of the informal address: your new lines use "Du", while about 57 pre-existing lines you did not touch (
mindSweep.*,starter.*,onboarding.*,calendar.openFromCalendarApp) use lowercase "du", so the file now mixes both. Since you are in there anyway, please unify to one form; capitalized "Du" is fine.
One decision on our side: the rename from "Posteingang" to "Eingang" is fine. Things, Todoist and OmniFocus use it in German. I will update the German docs after the merge, so leave them alone.
