Update: I’ve also submitted the formal variant (de_DE_formal) as suggestions under Stable (latest release). It went through the same glossary and style-guide checks, with every du form converted to Sie (Sie/Ihr, “Klicken Sie …”); button labels stay in the infinitive. Happy to fix anything your team flags.
