Well, this is getting into the eternal "German vs. Denglish"
bikeshedding war. If you can actually cite books, that would probably
constitute a good argument in favour of changing it to the English terms
for these. (I'd be all for it, and AFAIK so would Jan, but as I said
this has been going on for a while.)

Perhaps you could use the Github wiki feature to import Ævar's list into
a wiki in your git-de-po repository, which we could then edit?

Probably not, since that would be pointless without another minor
