Translation for "timeout" ind German + Where to tell about bad UI translations?

[jot ess]

Is there a better place than here to tell about bad translations in the UI? A bug report at GitHub seems inappropriate.

In my German UI I found the word "Zeitüberschreitung" in the settings concerning screen timeouts. I couldn't make sense of it and switched the app's language to English to understand.

The English word "timeout" is actually also used in German for this particular meaning. If you really want to use a German word, you could maybe call it "Ausschaltzeit", which would translate directly to "shut off time". At least you could add "timeout" in brackets as an explanation.

Best regards

That is the best way to have your report seen by the developers.

While one of the developers does drop by this list occasionally, the
developers do not regularly read the list, and the rest of us here
are simply users like yourself.

Hi,

all translations go via the cloud-based, open-source community translation site Weblate: OsmAnd @ Hosted Weblate

If you register, you can help improve your language.
