Properly translate possible-* cases in German

[ghost]

I noticed this morning that the German translation was missing the following terms:

• possible-very-light-precipitation
• possible-light-precipitation
• possible-very-light-rain
• possible-light-rain
• possible-very-light-sleet
• possible-light-sleet
• possible-very-light-snow
• possible-light-snow

I added a quick hack to correct for this, simply copying the terminology from the related cases (e.g. very-light-precipitation, light-precipitation, etc.). Could somebody who is familiar with German fix these lines such that they indicate that the precipitation only has a chance of occurring?

  "possible-very-light-precipitation": "leichter Niederschlag", // FIXME
  "possible-light-precipitation": "leichter Niederschlag", // FIXME
  "possible-very-light-rain": "Nieselregen", // FIXME
  "possible-light-rain": "leichter Regen", // FIXME
  "possible-very-light-sleet": "leichter Graupelregen", // FIXME
  "possible-light-sleet": "leichter Graupelregen", // FIXME
  "possible-very-light-snow": "leichter Schneefall", // FIXME
  "possible-light-snow": "leichter Schneefall", // FIXME

Based on the possible-thunderstorm term, my guess is that the translation would be the following, but I would appreciate confirmation/correction:

  "possible-very-light-precipitation": "mögliche leichter Niederschlag",
  "possible-light-precipitation": "mögliche leichter Niederschlag",
  "possible-very-light-rain": "mögliche Nieselregen",
  "possible-light-rain": "mögliche leichter Regen",
  "possible-very-light-sleet": "mögliche leichter Graupelregen",
  "possible-light-sleet": "mögliche leichter Graupelregen",
  "possible-very-light-snow": "mögliche leichter Schneefall",
  "possible-light-snow": "mögliche leichter Schneefall",

Thanks!

In German, you would simply add "möglich" (possible) at the end of the sentence. So for example, "Possible light precipitation [on Friday]" becomes "Leichter Regen [am Freitag] möglich".

Also:

• very light precipitation has a German term: "Nieselregen"
• possible-thunderstorm is incorrect, it should be "Gewitter.... möglich" as above

[ghost]

Does "Nieselregen" refer to all kinds of precipitation, or does it refer specifically to rain (e.g. liquid precipitation)?

[jacbz]

Nieselregen is defined as light rain where the rain drops are smaller than 0.5 millimetres in diameter.

Got it, thanks. So we'll want to use that for very-light-rain, but not very-light-precipitation, which might not be liquid. (We use -precipitation when we don't know the type.)

Merged a fix in. Thanks all!
