Comment (by emmapeel):

 One thing I see is that the translations are very old in the BridgesDB
 directory: from 2017. So if there were more translations in po file:
 ​https://gitweb.torproject.org/translation.git/tree/de/LC_MESSAGES/bridgedb.po?h=bridgedb_completed
 they need to be added to https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/ and
 maybe some of the strings get translated.

 The BridgesDB webpage goes with the AcceptHeaders of the browser it seems,
 and the default is English (en).

 If you have de, for the browser is unfortunately not de-DE. Is silly, I
 know. That is why you have to add de and de-DE to your browser.

 (But yeah, the accept language headers give some information about you and
 make you different from the other users, and maybe you want to show the
 page to a friend that speaks another language, etc)
