The translation looks fine in general, BUT for _[de\_DE default](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/de/default/wp-plugins/echo-knowledge-base/)_ we use the informal „du“ version. „Sie“ is only used for [de_DE formal](https://translate.wordpress.org/locale/de/formal/wp-plugins/echo-knowledge-base/). Could you please take care that all translations are adjusted to the correct „ du“ version?
