Thanks.
You may want to join http://translationproject.org/team/de.html
and fix the translations directly. We get our translations from there.

cheers,

Package: coreutils
Version:  8.13 - 8.16

Faults:
(only applicable to german localization):
When trying to re-create an already created symbolic link, ln's error message contains three faults,
one grammatical, one [important] logical one orthographical.

Reproduction:

touch ./foo
ln -s ./foo ./bar
>>>then again:
ln -s ./foo ./bar
ln: Symbolischen Verknüpfung „./bar“ konnte angelgt werden: Die Datei existiert bereits.

Corrected error message reads like this:
ln: Symbolische Verknüpfung „./bar“ konnte nicht angelegt werden: Die Datei existiert bereits.

Corrections:
- 1) Symbolische Verknüpfung [...] -> minor important grammatical mistake.
- 2) [...] konnte nicht angelgt werden: [...] -> this one is important, the negotiation is missing.
- 3) [...] angelegt werden: [...] -> minor important ortographical mistake (typo).

whereas original english errStr is correct:
LC_ALL=C ln -s ./foo ./bar
ln: failed to create symbolic link `bar': File exists

File /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo  (binary) - (tested using Debian coreutils 8.13-3.1)
resp. ./po/de.po & ./po/de.gmo source (8.13, 8.14, 8.15, 8.16) belong to 'coreutils', not 'locales', so this is a coreutils problem.

I've reported the problem at bugs.debian.org, too - since it may be in the interest of Debian to correct this in distribution packages before 8.17 or so migrates to sid/testing.

Yfyi: German localization files contain several other typos/mistakes.
