[mynextwine](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mynextwine/) 8:45 am _on_ August 30, 2026 7. Hi Johannes, thanks for getting back to me. 8. TBH, I used AI to help with the initial German translation, but I didn’t just upload the raw output. I went through the translations in context, tested them in the actual storefront, admin screens and emails, and made several passes to fix wording that felt too literal or technical. 9. I’m not fluent enough in German to claim I can judge every nuance as a native speaker, so I want to be upfront about that. 10. I also haven’t worked through the German glossary/style guide line by line yet. I’m happy to do that and make any changes the German team recommends. 11. I understand that unreviewed machine/AI translations aren’t acceptable. If you’d prefer the German team to review the stringsString A string is a translatable part of the software.
