Hi Helge Sorry for the delay in answering. Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I will look into this.
I have also seen a suggestion for German translation. Thanks a lot for that one as well. However I have a question there. Is that one based on this patch, or is it based on the system before your suggested changes? The reason I'm asking is whether I need to update your German patch if I do these changes.
