I'm currently working on translations (UI) to German in the framework part of OFBiz.
To avoid misleading translations and to use the same words whenever possible, I created the following very small dictionary (work in progress 
). Any feedback from German-speaking users is welcome, please add comments or directly change this page so that we get a consistent set of translations.
Changed translations are marked in green (after feedback from the community).
Translations to ???: Still looking for a good translation that matches what is implemented in OFBiz
Remark:
Due to the principle of concationation of single words to get a longer new one, german tends to produce relatively long words. Maybe it's wise to check the list as well for possible shorter versions. Or it will break the UI.
| Word in English | Suggested translation to German | Comment | |

| Agreement | Vereinbarung |
Changed from Vertrag to Vereinbarung after feedback from Christian Geisert. Comment (Carsten)> I would like to have some more background on this. That OFBiz provides here is (IMHO) a "Vertragsmanagement". How would we then translate "Agreement Item" ... "Vereinbarungselement", "Vereinbarungsbestandteil" ? Sorry, I think this is a little academic ... keep in mind : we are tanslating for a user interface, not for a text book ...  |
|

Contact me if you want to see the result, e.g. for Accounting. According to these outputs, Accounting has undergone quite some change with recent revisions of the trunk, and the "done" statement given above can be doubted quite thoroughly.
As the selecting locale is a parameter on the XSLT, other locales can be validated/analysed in the same way.
Let me know if you would like a copy or see my results for the current trunk. I can expose them on the internet or send them around if wanted.

). I haven't checked all those marked "done" for quite some time and didn't find time to work on those translations recently so those info is obviously outdated.

I have opened JIRA issue OFBiz-2911 in order to add the statistics to that toolkit.
