Adding translations to de-DE

[OHappyDay]

Dear all,

I would like to contribute to the translation section for de-DE.

Please find attached the file with additions for missing translations.

Klaus

[Rob Beezer]

Thanks very much, Klaus. That's perfect, its all added in. I don't provide any
input on the translations, so any other native speakers are welcome to review
and make suggestions.

My assistant (Claude Code) is, of course, not afraid to make suggestions about
pretty much anything. I can relay those here if you like?

I've added your name in the appropriate places.

Hi Rob,

great, thanks. Sure, you can relay those proposals here.

Here you go! Any updates could be handled the same way, but be sure to start
with a fresh copy of the very latest version (pushed a few hours ago).

----

A few suggestions on the German translation (xsl/localizations/de-DE.xml).
Each gives the string-id, then the current German. They are only
suggestions; you know the language far better.

1. listing = "Liste"
This is the same word as for "list", so a program listing and a list
get the same name. German usually says "Listing" for program code (as
the LaTeX "listings" package does).

2. enclosure = "Anhang"
This is the same word as for "appendix". German letters use "Anlage"
for an enclosure.

3. copy = "Kopie"
This labels a button that copies text, so the verb "Kopieren" may fit
better than the noun.

4. running = "Läuft"
In the print options this means the headers or footers on the later
pages, as opposed to "first-page" ("Erste Seite"), rather than "is
running". Something like "Folgeseiten" may fit.

5. readability-theme = "Thema"
This is a color scheme (light, dark, system), so "Design" or
"Farbschema" may fit better than "Thema", which suggests a topic.

6. insight = "Überblick"
"Überblick" reads as "overview". "Einsicht" or "Erkenntnis" would be
closer to "insight".

7. cc = "Kopie(CC)"
A space seems to be missing: "Kopie (CC)".

8. embed = "Einbinden", embed-this-page = "Diese Seite einbetten"
Two different verbs for the same action; perhaps choose one.

9. Still in English: top ("Top"; perhaps "Nach oben"), li ("Item";
perhaps "Punkt" or "Eintrag"), and query ("Query"; perhaps "Umfrage",
since a PreTeXt "query" is an in-page poll or survey).

Thanks, Rob.

That helps as I was unsure for some terms. I will update the file later.

1. listing = "Liste"
This is the same word as for "list", so a program listing and a list
get the same name. German usually says "Listing" for program code (as

the LaTeX "listings" package does).

--> corrected

2. enclosure = "Anhang"
This is the same word as for "appendix". German letters use "Anlage"

for an enclosure.

--> Both terms are used in German but "Anhang" is more common for an appendix in an email. Will leave it as "Anhang"

3. copy = "Kopie"
This labels a button that copies text, so the verb "Kopieren" may fit

better than the noun.

--> corrected

4. running = "Läuft"
In the print options this means the headers or footers on the later
pages, as opposed to "first-page" ("Erste Seite"), rather than "is

running". Something like "Folgeseiten" may fit.

--> The context was not clear. Corrected to "Folgeseiten" 

5. readability-theme = "Thema"
This is a color scheme (light, dark, system), so "Design" or

"Farbschema" may fit better than "Thema", which suggests a topic.

--> "Farbschema" seems to fit best

6. insight = "Überblick"
"Überblick" reads as "overview". "Einsicht" or "Erkenntnis" would be

closer to "insight".

--> It is difficult as it depends on the context. If "insight" refers to an idea in a proof then "Idee" or "Grundidee" fits well. If it is used in a more general context then "Erkenntnis" could be best.
I changed it to "Erkenntnis" (or should it be in plural form as it might list more than one "insight"?)

7. cc = "Kopie(CC)"

A space seems to be missing: "Kopie (CC)".

--> corrected

8. embed = "Einbinden", embed-this-page = "Diese Seite einbetten"

Two different verbs for the same action; perhaps choose one.

--> corrected

9. Still in English: top ("Top"; perhaps "Nach oben"), li ("Item";
perhaps "Punkt" or "Eintrag"), and query ("Query"; perhaps "Umfrage",

since a PreTeXt "query" is an in-page poll or survey).

--> Wanted to avoid long terms but decided to change it to "Nach oben". 

--> Query: what is the context for this term? Without  context it is hard to decide how to translate this.

   - "Abfrage" is the direct translation which refers to a single question

   - "Umfrage" is a fix term for a survey (many questions)

   - I have chosen "Abfrage"

--> There are no native terms for an item in <ol> or <ul> lists. "Item" is used sometimes also. Changed it to "Punkt"

For the remaining missing translations I did my best. If your assistant has other suggestions please let me know.

Klaus
