While I am not aware of any such group for German translations I do look into GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus and other applications when struggling to find a translation to see how they did it. Take what you find with a grain of salt though, sometimes you'll find total nonsense, looking like Google translations. :-( Given the technical and specific language used in a program like darktable (or any other expert tool) I don't think that just crowd sourcing the translations using one of those websites will work. IMO it requires a user of the program, knowing the technical terminology, and ideally (s)he should be able to compile the program to see the strings in action. > Just for your (and everyone's) information and inspiration :-) > > Thomas Tobias
