OFBiz translations to German

[Markus Studer]

I'm currently doing some translations to German in the framework
(common) part of OFBiz. I've created a small dictionary for the
translations to get consistent translations.

http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Dictionary+for+translations+to+German

Feedback from German-speaking users/developers is requested.

Thanks and best regards

Hi Markus,

This is an interesting intiative. I will try do the same in French. Really easier to share (even between languages) than digging
into uiLabels files or UI.

Thanks

Jacques

Hi Markus,

sounds really great :)
only one thing: cancelled
i think it's nearly impossible to define only one translation for that,
depending on context there are some possibilities...

yes, that's right. I want to define translations that fit for most cases
(hopefully more than 50%). Some applications/modules will need to use
their own translations for those words as business slang varies.

As always: "Keine Regel ohne Ausnahmen" (no rule without exceptions)

What I want to know is where the suggested translations really do not
fit -> I'm working on framework/common/config/CommonEntityLabels.xml
that file defines a lot of translations for state changes and names for
status and I do not want to introduce some "strange" translations that
confuse.
