Hello, I’ve found answers to most of my own questions and will resend r5rs.de this week with corrections.

I will compare the terms it uses to my translation.

Forschende would work but sounds more > artificial. Is there some GNU standard? I did a survey with twenty-two people sitting in front of my university’s cafeteria. I knew none of them. The majority (68%, 10 men and 5 women) prefers “Forschende” over “Forscher” (which is preferred by 22%, 2 men and 3 women, additionally 2 men were undecided) so I’ll change it to “Forschende”. (I got similar results from my own personal umfeld, i.e. friends, acquaintances, family.) Regards, Florian
