What is the next step now that the issue is confirmed? Shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
Who can fix this, or how can I help?

Title:
  German translation for minimize & maximize was changed to the worse

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The German translation labels for Minimize and Maximize were changed
  in Ubuntu 16.04:

  old: Minimieren / Maximieren
  new: Verkleinern / Vergrößern

  In my opinion, this is wrong (vergrößern = expand, not maximize).
  However, the change is especially bad because it makes minimize and
  maximize via keyboard shortcuts more difficult: Before, I was able to
  open the menu with Alt + Space, followed by "m" for minimize and "x"
  for maximize. Now, the hotkey for "Verkleinern" was changed to "k",
  and for "Vergrössern" there are now multiple keystrokes necessary
  because the hotkey "g" is used twice in the same menu.

  My suggestion is to change the translation back to "_Minimieren" and
  "Ma_ximieren".
