Ok, once I reveive the answer I'll incorporate/update that in the
German man page translation, thanks.

Fine with me, it is just very common, but IMHO usually not needed.

For me it is easier to work on the pot file, but I understand your
view point, it's just more inconvenient for me (and in case strings

I'll already have a few more in the pipeline, but I'll gather some
before reporting.
Thanks again for applying the fixes.
