@benelwoods The translations have not been reviewed by the German Polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/, but I took a brief look at them.
- How did you (honestly) obtain the translations?
- Are you fluent in German yourself to objectively evaluate the quality and take linguistic nuances into account?
- Are you aware of our localeLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress in https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ Glossary and Style Guide?

  Hey Jens!
  
  I produced the translations with AI assistance (Claude), working from a maintained terminology glossary for the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

  No, I’m not a native German speaker, so I can’t objectively judge nuance; which is exactly why I imported them as suggestions (“waiting”) rather than approving anything myself, so your team can review, correct or reject them.

  On the style guide: I can see my current import is in formal “Sie”, which really belongs in de_DE_formal rather than the informal “Du” default; happy to redo it informal for de_DE, or feel free to discard the current suggestions.
  
  I appreciate the scrutiny, I want this done to your team’s standard.
