I checked the german stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software. A translation consists of a multitude of localized strings. and they could need some improvements, some I rejected, others I left waiting – is there anyone who can do this for you?

  Thanks @presskopp. I have requested some of the theme’s users to contribute and improve to the translation.

        I have read the german styleguide and the glossary. Now i have to say the actual status of the german translation has to be called a “raw version”. 🙂

  Hi Daniel, thanks for taking the time to verify the translation. At the moment, we don’t have any specific user who are actively contributing to the Finnish translation. I’ll be sure to ask our Finnish users in the community to contribute.
