I found that there is one string that is difficult to translate in german. Perhaps its the same to other languages so I started this discussion for general watchout of similar problems. Otherwise this discussion will be over soon ;o)

Hi @jochenwalter , thanks for raising that. Are you talking about the button text or the text around it ?
the easiest ways is to point this out to me would be to either:
- take screenshots and draw an arrow/ circle around the problem text (useful apps: windows: Hyperdesktop, Linux: shutter)
- click on the translations in Transifex then copy the link in the address bar: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/loomio-1/translate/#de/github-linked-version/30647123?q=following https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/loomio-1/translate/#de/github-linked-version/30727011?q=following You'll notice the number bit (e.g. 30647123) changes for each translation

@mixirving The string used for the button "following" on the dashboard and the string on the button "following" in every single discussion seems to be the same but the meaning isn't exactly the same that's why it needs to be divided into two strings. But there will be a problem for the translators to see which string is used on which button. Can You fix that?
