Re: [PATCH] l10n: de.po: translate 265 new messages

The translation (both in the existing strings and in your newly added ones)
addresses the user as "du" instead of "Sie" (for the non-German-speaking: "du"
is the informal addressing, "Sie" is the formal addressing). However, in
German software there are two main rules on this: 1. Don't address the user
directly. Rather prefer passive forms over directly addressing the person. I
know English software is much more permissive of this one. Hence, occasionally
the German translator should take the freedom to change the wording so that
the addressing of the user is replaced in the translation by some passive
wording without the addressing of the user. 2. If the addressing of the user
is unavoidable, the text should use "Sie" instead of "du". Addressing the user
as "du" should be constrained to audiences which for sure always address each
other as "du", such as certain educational settings and/or games and such (and
maybe in the Ikea-Katalog, but even there they switched from Du to Sie and
back again several times). Please try to avoid using "du" in developer tools'
user-visible strings. Thanks a lot!

Hi Christian,

thanks for your review. I agree with you that using a formal addressing
is better and probably sounds a bit more serious than an informal. However,
I would put that change in another commit to make it through the whole
translation,
because it's probably not a good idea to mix them. This also includes the last
git.pot update on master. I don't expect big updates on git.pot after 1.7.11-rc0
was tagged, so afterwards I start working on this.

Thanks

Ralf
