Public bug reported:

GERMAN LANGUAGE

When trying to unmount an external hard drive that currently can not be
unmounted, the following grammatically incorrect message appears:

============================================
Volume kann nicht ausgehangen werden
Cannot unmount because file system on device is busy
============================================

In this context "ausgehangen werden" is absolutely wrong, it should say
"ausgehängt werden". The word "ausgehangen" is often used incorrectly by
former GDR residents and unfortunately many less educated West Germans
adopt this bad habbit nowadays.

The dictionary says:
http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/aushaengen_angeschlagen_sein

So please change the expression into:

===========================================
Volume kann nicht ausgehängt werden
Cannot unmount because file system on device is busy
===========================================

Thank you!
