This commit contains some comments for future translators. This information would be best kept in an extra file so to not clutter the de.po. Looking forward to what Crowdin can do in this regard.

The more translator comments we have, the better.
They can stay in the PO file as far as I'm concerned.
Whether to move them to Crowdin is up to you, of course.

Perhaps all comments could be written in German.
Quoting people is unnecessary, and thus many could be more concise.

If this commit is exhaustive, a few changes require further work.
I have created #328 to correct all mistakes I noticed, listed below:

"Safe haven" has been re-translated in all instances except one:

msgid "You are to start the immediate evacuation of Beta Base to the safe haven."
msgstr "Beginnen Sie sofort damit die Betabasis in die Sicherheitszone zu evakuieren."

The gender of the noun "Mod" is generally feminine, yet masculine in:

msgid "You have an incompatible mod."
msgstr "Sie haben einen inkompatiblen Mod."

msgid "%s (%u) has an incompatible mod, and has been kicked."
msgstr "%s (%u) hat einen inkompatiblen Mod und wurde rausgeschmissen."

To comply with ticket:4872, the following change should be applied:

- msgid "%s - %u Unit assigned - Damage %3.0f%%"
+ msgid "%s - %u Unit assigned - Damage %d/%d"

Kreuvf's repository contains a discussion of the changes in this commit,
in PR 1 at kreuvf#1 for the branch
de.po-2019-03-31.
My suggestions that were rejected in ticket:4845 were not debated (cf.
http://developer.wz2100.net/attachment/ticket/4845/de.po-4845-01-rejected.patch
), yet the following should have been:

# The plural of "scavengers" is "Scavenger" in all other instances
msgid "Defeat the scavengers and retrieve any artifacts."
- msgstr "Vernichten Sie die Scavengers und bergen Sie alle Artefakte."
+ msgstr "Vernichten Sie die Scavenger und bergen Sie alle Artefakte."

# The current translation confuses "proximity" with "approximation".
# Note that the weapon is a suicide bomber.

msgid "Proximity Bomb Turret"
- msgstr "Näherungsbombenabwurfschacht"
+ msgstr "Selbstmordkommando-Bombenturm"

msgid "Proximity Superbomb Turret"
- msgstr "Näherungssuperbombenabwurfschacht"
+ msgstr "Selbstmordkommando-Superbombenturm"

msgid "New Proximity Bomb Turret Available"
- msgstr "Neuer Näherungsbombenabwurfschacht verfügbar"
+ msgstr "Neuer Selbstmordkommando-Bombenturm verfügbar"

# This research item is supposed to enable targeting for sensors
msgid "Sensor Lock"
- msgstr "Sensorsperre"
+ msgstr "Zielbestimmung für Sensoren"

# "Graphics Options->Radar" setting
msgid "Fixed"
- msgstr "Fest"
+ msgstr "Unbeweglich"

# "Graphics Options->Radar Jump" setting

msgid "Instant"
- msgstr "Sofort"
+ msgstr "Verzögerungsfrei"

msgid "Tracked"
- msgstr "Sanft"
+ msgstr "Langsam verfolgt"

msgid "Radar Jump"
- msgstr "Minikartensprung"
+ msgstr "Minikartenortsauswahl"

In the discussion between Kreuvf and me, we agreed to replace "Geschütz" by "Kanone" because "Geschütz" is a generic term that includes Cannons, Howitzers and Mortars (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesch%C3%BCtz). I agreed to do this work and will also include the terms you found that we overlooked.

># The plural of "scavengers" is "Scavenger" in all other instances
>msgid "Defeat the scavengers and retrieve any artifacts."
>- msgstr "Vernichten Sie die Scavengers und bergen Sie alle Artefakte."
>+ msgstr "Vernichten Sie die Scavenger und bergen Sie alle Artefakte."

I see this similar to the word "Espresso". We adopt the word into German but are using the original plural. In this example "Zwei Espressi" instead of "Zwei Espressos". I will change "Scavenger" into "Scavengers" whereever necessary.

You wrote in one of your translator comments that this is a weapon only used in demos from 1999. Also see: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4961&hilit=proximity&start=45#p50361 So I'm more of the opinion that this unnecessary term should rather be removed from the original source.

`># This research item is supposed to enable targeting for sensors
>msgid "Sensor Lock"
>- msgstr "Sensorsperre"
>+ msgstr "Zielbestimmung für Sensoren"`

The correct translation for "Sensor Lock" is "Sensorsperre". If this feature is not working that way change first the wrong description in the original source.

># "Graphics Options->Radar" setting
>msgid "Fixed"
>- msgstr "Fest"
>+ msgstr "Unbeweglich"

># "Graphics Options->Radar Jump" setting

>msgid "Instant"

>msgid "Radar Jump"

These terms weren't discussed because Kreuvf rejected them and I accepted his decision. Nevertheless I will include them again into my changes and invite you to be again part of the discussion. Use this opportunity to convince Kreuvf from your ideas. If you still don't want to discuss with us don't be surprised why Kreuvf and I don't discuss things that are decided in our eyes.
