I have made a few corrections/improvements to the "de.po" file. The problem is that currently the English words "Graphics" and "Figure" are both mapped onto the German word "Abbildung" which causes some confusion. I think this translation has historical reasons, so I resolved it.
For the translators of the user manual: AFAIK "Graphics" is a plural word which denotes just one "Grafik".
BTW: I noticed that Hartmut Haase is not listed in the "hall of fame"!
The attached patch is against 1.2.2cvs. I would be grateful if you apply it.
Kind regards,
Michael
