 Replying to [ticket:19839 sebalis]:
 > Browsing to https://bridges.torproject.org/ from Germany using an
 English Firefox, I am served a page that shows headlines in English, but
 the rest (as far as I checked) is in German. The German text is not bad
 but should be improved in some places as it seems too close to the English
 original with some incorrect translation choices. As a native speaker and
 also long-standing translator/interpreter for Digitalcourage and the CCC
 I’d be happy to help.

 Hi! That's odd that the headlines were in English. Do you mean the text in
 <h1></h1> (etc.) tags, or also the text in the titlebar/menubar of
 Firefox? As you mentioned, using Tor Browser, I also get all German or all
 English, depending on my language settings.

 As for improving the German, we use
 [https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/torproject/resource/2-bridgedb-
 bridgedb-pot/ Transifex], and I'm happy to figure out how to get you an
 account there. I'm also happy to take suggestions here and put them into
 Transifex for you. (Und ja auch kann ich irgenwie deutsch sprechen…
 zumeist. Die aktuelle Übersetzung ist vielleicht ein bisschen schade, aber
 auch ist sie nicht meine Muttersprache. :)

 > (And since this ticket will apparently be “owned” by Isis, I’d like to
 add that I’m hugely looking forward to being her interpreter for her
 upcoming talk at Digitalcourage’s “Public Domain” event. ☺)

 Voll knorke!
