[Jango <j.4@xxxxxx>]

But therefore i have to upload a *.po file... true?
I haven't managed to convert the manually translated strings.xml files
into this *.po files.
I think the reason therefore is that we have completely different
layouts in all the strings.xml files. Sometimes strings are missing, the
tabs are different, comments changed,.... With the newly generated
german .xml file I am able to generate a .po file.

If it is also possible to upload a xml file, i will do it.

Best,
Stefan
