Call for testing: langpack updates for 20.04.2

[Dennis Baudys]

Hi Gunnar!

Thank you very much for the reply and thoughts on this.

I'm sorry that those strings slipped by. It's not the end of the world 
if the German language pack cannot be included in the 20.04.2 release.

The new language pack is good enough to be released, however the strings 
I mentioned (especially in snap-store-desktop) could make it a bit 
easier for Ubuntu beginners (that only speak German) to get new 
software. Some examples of those strings that I just translated a few 
hours ago in snap-store-desktop:

Menu item:

"Sign In"

Categories:

"Devices and IoT"
"Education"
"Finance"
"Development"
"Social"

etc.

Additional to that I corrected several strings in that package related 
to rpm-ostree, especially regarding plugins and multi layered packages. 
Mainly bad grammar, harmonization of wording, some typos and only very 
few plain wrong translations.

I think updating the German language packs soon after the release of 
20.04.2 would be great ("good enough"), if possible.

No worries, no stress.

Thanks again and Best Regards,


Dennis Baudys
