[Dolibarr-user] Issues with German Translation and usage

[Torsten Appelhagen]

Hello,

I've encountered some Problems, hopefully this is the right place to 
discuss them?

1. There is a big translation error: "Capital" was translated as 
"Hauptstadt" (Capitol) which makes no sense at all! This is printed at 
the bottom line of invoices, if you fill in the capital value in you own 
company settings. Correct would be "Kapital".
On the other Hand, it seems not to be necessary at all in Germany to 
print in on documents, so currently I just leave it blank.

2. The default Date and Time settings for Germany are %d.%m.%Y (not 
%d/%m/%Y) and %H:%M  (there is no AM/PM). Since this is stored in 
main.lang instead of some kind of dictionary, the settings are silently 
overwritten on each update, which is quite annoying.
If it is too hard to have date/time settings editable from within 
dolibarr, please change the default like this:

SeparatorDecimal=.
SeparatorThousand=None
FormatDateShort=%d.%m.%Y
FormatDateShortInput=%d.%m.%Y
FormatDateShortJava=dd.MM.yyyy
FormatDateShortJavaInput=dd.MM.yyyy
FormatDateShortJQuery=dd.MM.yy
FormatDateShortJQueryInput=dd.MM.yy
FormatHourShort=%H:%M
FormatHourShortDuration=%H:%M
FormatDateTextShort=%d %b %Y
FormatDateText=%d %B %Y
FormatDateHourShort=%d.%m.%Y %H:%M
FormatDateHourSecShort=%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S
FormatDateHourTextShort=%d %b %Y %H:%M
FormatDateHourText=%d %B %Y %H:%M

3. In Germany the "Managing Director(s)" is/are required by law on 
relevant documents. Currently I achieve this by using the "free text" 
field in module "invoice", but this doesn't look good (it's left aligned 
instead of centered like the other footer lines). I'd greatly appreciate 
if this information could be added in a later version.

Best regards,
Torsten
