chore(i18n): update German (de) translation by timitos · Pull Request #40431 · apache/superset

timitos · 2026-05-26T10:18:38Z

SUMMARY

Updates the German (de) translation file (superset/translations/de/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po).

The existing translation was partially outdated and contained many fuzzy/untranslated entries. This commit refreshes the .po file to align with the current message catalog, removing stale entries and providing accurate German translations for the current UI strings.

TESTING INSTRUCTIONS

Build Superset with LANGUAGES = {"de": {"flag": "de", "name": "German"}} set in superset_config.py
Switch the UI language to German in the user settings
Verify that previously missing or untranslated strings now appear in German
No regressions expected for other locales

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Required feature flags: none
API changes: none
DB migration required: no

My main concern right now is that I don’t understand why Datensatz was replaced with Dataset.

Datensatz is ambiguous in the BI context. There are two words that can be translated as Datensatz: Record and Dataset. I did some research and found that many BI tools keep 'Dataset' untranslated. This prevents ambiguity.

Superset is not exclusively used in the BI context. It is a general purpose data exploration and visualization platform. In my opinion it should stay Datensatz 🤔

So how should "Record" be translated then?

So how should "Record" be translated then?

Maybe Eintrag could work, what do you think?

Yes — since entry only occurs once in the source strings, there's no real risk of overloading the term, so Eintrag for record seems viable.

I made the switch to Datensatz for Dataset coming from a more technical / BI background, but I can fully understand your perspective coming from an academic / research background. There are essentially two worlds using the same tool with different preferred vocabularies, and I doubt we can fully satisfy both. It's a genuinely difficult call.

How does the project usually resolve cases like this — is there a translation glossary or a maintainer preference we should follow? I'm happy to go either way as long as we apply it consistently (e.g. record → Eintrag to avoid the clash).

Looks like this needs conflicts resolved... some files were just brought up to speed on master.

timitos · 2026-06-08T16:54:43Z

@timitos Do you want to follow up on this? A rebase is needed and some merge conflicts might need to be resolved.

If you don't want to continue, I'm happy to take over for you. Just give me a short headsup 🙃

@semohr i am on it. just give me some time.

Did my best to resolve the conflicts. Hoping CI passes.

Two German entries had msgstr ending in \n while the source msgid ended with a trailing whitespace-only line, so msgfmt rejected the catalog and check_translation_regression.py failed (babel-extract). Mirror the msgid trailing line in each msgstr so both sides match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pushed a small fix on top, @timitos — the de catalog had two entries where the msgstr ended with \n but the source msgid ended with a trailing-whitespace line, which made msgfmt reject the whole catalog and failed the translation-regression check. Mirrored the source's trailing line in both. Should be green now. Thanks for the German updates!
