Hi,
sadly, I could not follow up on this review request and it is still
unmerged.
I'll try to sum up the discussion so far to get the review request
resolved and merged, and then can do further improvements - maybe in
combination with changes on terminology on other pages - in separate
review requests.
These are the issues I initially described:
(1) When referring to Tails Greeter buttons on the wiki page, their
labels are translated, while by default the Greeter is set to
English with English labels.
spriver:

I now agree that we should use the translated button labels in the
documentation. To rephrase what spriver said: If a user not
capable of understanding/reading English, he/she will look for &
find symbols (the flag) to change the language settings. Then the
Greeter button labels will be shown in German and will match the
descriptions on the translated wiki page.
Therefore, the current state (translated button labels) is correct.
Issue solved \o/
(2) "Netzwerkkonfiguration" was changed to "Netzwerkeinstellungen" to
match Tails Greeter. This differs from the wiki page.
spriver:
> For me "Netzwerkeinstellungen" sounds better.
u:
> I prefer "Netzwerkeinstellungen".[...]
So we all agree that "Netzwerkeinstellungen" should be used :-)
Issue solved \o/
New issue:
doc/first_steps/startup_options/network_configuration.de.po
needs to be updated.
(3) On the wiki (this page and others) we say "Verschleiern der
MAC-Adresse", whereas Tails Greeter says "Manipulation der
MAC-Adresse".
spriver:
> I like the term "Manipulation der MAC-Adresse" more because it is
> the technical thing that is being done, we do not cover the

u:

So that's the first disagreement. I think that both are valid
points: effectively, the MAC address is actively changed and
remains transmitted in the clear/uncovered/unhidden. On the other
hand, it is difficult to understand the intention why we do this
change of the MAC address (-> to be less visible/identifiable); from
that perspective "verschleiern" seems more accurate to me because it
makes me think of fog/clouds that makes it difficult to see
something within. Furthermore, "Manipulation der MAC-Adresse"
sounds unhandy and a bit unnatural to me (e.g. I doubt I'd use this
term to describe the issue to someone in a conversation). Also,
translations for "verschleiern" on LEO include "to camouflage", "to
obfuscate" and "to fake".
Personally, I'd vote for "verschleiern".
If we agree on "verschleiern", the translation in Tails Greeter
needs to be changed.
(4) The wiki uses "Verschlüsselter beständiger Speicherbereich"
(persistent volume), while Tails Greeter uses "Beständige
Speicherpartition"
spriver:

u:

The discussion on terminology started in February:
https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-l10n/2015-February/001943.html
In the end, we all agreed on "beständiger Speicherbereich":
spriver:
> ACK on "beständiger Speicherbereich". I was thinking a lot about
> the translation the past days, and I acame to the conclusion that

u:
> I completely agree with "beständiger Speicherbereich".
flapflap:
> I'm fine with "beständiger Speicherbereich" as well
muri:
> i'm okey with that!
I think that the outcome of the discussion still holds and we should
change Tails Greeter to "Verschlüsselter beständiger
Speicherbereich".
Cheers :-)
