@emaechler Melde dich gerne im #polyglots Channel im deutschen Slack. Als Entwickler kannst du dann auch eingerichtet werden direkt Übersetzungen freizuschalten, aber für den Prozess ist eine Teilnahme im Slack super praktisch. Ggf. bekommst du so auch Hinweise zum Plugin und der Nutzung der Übersetzungsfunktionen ...
