Hi, I am not subscribed to the mailing list right now but I noticed your discussion when browsing through the mail archive.
"Beschreibung" is OK for me as long as it is used consistently (IMHO consistency is more important than anything else). Currently, I have no time to work on de.po. The situation will change in about one or two weeks when my PhD thesis is finally finished (sigh!). Please send all complaints, suggestions, etc. to me directly. I will collect them and provide a new de.po as soon as possible. Michael
