i think you're right- i was used to only use the words because i mostly
write german documentation without enumeration. and i learned that the
numbers from one to twelve should be written as words, which is
apparently not the case anymore today (but its still usual to do so i
think).
i've created a branch changing the words to numbers, please, dear german
translators, review:
https://gitlab.com/muri/tails.git de_change-enumeration
[de_change-enumeration 4ffbdf0] changed the type of enumeration to numbers
cheers,
