Hello Michael,
First a short explanation. I discovered IPFire Translate while reading a
community thread and just tried to discover the purpose and using.
The units for data amount are Bit and Byte, which give the transfer
rates Bit/second an Byte/second.
Your example shows the memory usage graph ( measured in Byte ).
To be exact, the unit of the graph should read 'Byte'.
I know, that the terminology isn't that exactly in IPFire. But couldn't
change this step by step? ;)

Hello Bernhard,
Thank you for helping to improve the translation of telemetry.
I think you are intending to change any units to singular which grammatically
would be correct.
However, the “Bytes” thing is potentially confusing:
https://git.ipfire.org/?p=telemetry.git;a=blob;f=src/daemon/graph.c;hb=00b4fd6e254508cf958fa0144d2e2722a93b479d#l567
So this is being used on the left hand side of the graphs in the legend.
Screenshot attached.
Intuitively I would have chosen “Bytes”. This is just a feeling.
However, if we want to change all those units to singular, we should not only
do this in German, but in English, too. I assume that these parts of the
grammar are the same.
