@Phillip Sz (phillip-sz) I think adding explanations to translations is
a feature that is missing in Launchpad's translation platform.

Title:
  Wrong German translation of "holiday"

Status in Holidays Scope:
  Fix Committed
Status in Today Scope:
  Invalid
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New

Bug description:
  The today scope can be configured to display the next holidays. The
  label has a wrong German translation.

  The word "holidays" can have two meanings in English:
  1. "official day without work" (German translation: "Feiertag" resp. "Feiertage" when referring to a single or few days; "Ferien" when referring to a longer period.)
  2. "vacation" (German translation: "Urlaub", i.e. a holiday trip.)

  Currently, the German translation reads "Urlaub", which is meaning no. 2 and obviously wrong in this context.
  The correct translation in this context would be no. 1, but it may be difficult to decide if "Feiertag(e)" or "Ferien" should be used.

  (see also bug #1429548 describing the same problem for Italian
  translation)
