Let's translate it! - Digsby in German

After I read that twitter will be translated to French, Italian, German and English, I realized that digsby , IM the very best and social networking tool, still has not implemented further languages. So I thought I could help speeding up this process by translating into German digsby. When twitter will eventually get a German option and more Germans will starting to use it, I think digsby can profit from that development and get more German users, too. (cos it's reeeaaaally nice :)

So here's an attempt:

Structure:

English expression = German expression
// alternate expression

6.1. Twitter



Of course I would wait until Twitter releases the official translations for these terms. That's just my attempt:

> Update Now to update = now / / Update
> Mark All As Read = mark all as read
> Home = Home
> Profile = Profile
> Followers = pursuers
> Following = I follow
> New = New Tweet Tweet



pop View:


Home = Home Profile = Profile = Followers tracker
Following = I follow


status = status (update) = (update) / (Edit) /
timeline = timeline

Show Alerts = Display Messages / / Show Notes
Hide = Hide / / Hide
timeline = timeline Mentions Mentions = / /? Directs Direktnachnichten = / /?

For advanced information on twitter tweets and the separate window I wrote to extra post
