====== Notes on the German Translation ======


===== Salutations =====

Gernot Hueller:\\
it's "Sie" vs "du" of course and the formal "Du" is in uppercase, so there are three possibilities.
My personal feeling is that "Sie" is most appropriate for a serious piece of software and the "du" should be left to Ikea.

G. Hornig:\\
We should definitely work first on the "Sie" Version. The "Du"-Version can be generated as a second de_informal language file.
===== phpList specific terms =====

To obtain a consistent translation phpList specific terms should be translated uniformly. Here are some of these terms with possible translations. These will be discussed on the [[https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/phplist-translators|Translators mailinglist]].
