<p><font face="Arial">Hi,</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">So, I now get where the problem with the
missing Strings is coming from:</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><font face="Arial">I'm using German
(Switzerland) locale on my secondary computer. </font>The
German (Germany) translation is complete, but the German
(Switzerland) translation is not. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">I started copying the missing values from
German (Germany) to German (Switzerland), but it's a boring
manual process (transifex does not seem to provide bulk copying
between two translated languages), and I suspect that in the
future for new strings the same problem will arise. The
difference between the two languages is very small, and to be
honest, German (Switzerland) is not a very "relevant" dialect in
the sense that people who can read German (Switzerland) are
guaranteed to also be able to read German (Germany).<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Before I continue my work: Would it be
possible to have German (Germany) as fallback language for
German (Switzerland)? Thus, if German (Switzerland) is selected,
the order of strings would be "German (Switzerland) -> German
(Germany) -> English" instead of "German (Switzerland) ->
English"? <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">With this solution, a reasonable user
experience would be provided to German (Switzerland) users when
Strings are updated, and the German (Switzerland) translation is
missing. For the few strings that are different between German
(Switzerland) and German (Germany), they could be overwritten in
the German (Switzerland) translation. Maybe it would</font><font
face="Arial"><font face="Arial"> be</font> even better if German
(Switzerland) would only contain the few strings that are
different in the two dialects, so that Swiss users would also
automatically get German (Germany) translation improvements...<br>
</font></p>

<p class="">I did however notice two things:</p>
<p class="">- In the "Gears" tab, the columns are
sometimes too narrow in the default settings (bottle
type / lead type) to display the content of the dropdown
in the list. This might be since with German language
settings the title of the column is very short ("Typ")<br

We have always struggled having good default column widths. I
keep thinking that I should work on that - and then there are a
million other things to do. But yes, this has been a problem
since forever.</div>

<p class=""> - There seem to be some missing German
strings. I just joined transifex so I might be able to
put some work into German / Swiss German translations.</p>

I added you. It's possible that the strings themselves aren't
marked for translation.
<div class="">It's always good to send screen shots if you run
into issues like that - that way the rest of us can help figure
out what's going on.</div>
