[Building Sakai] Any German I18N/L10N work done?

[Matthew Jones]

Mark was working last week at getting the translations into this site
called crowdin (
http://collab.sakaiproject.org/pipermail/i18n/2013-September/000645.html),
this might be an easier path forward for translations if they can all be
loaded up into there then downloaded before the release goes live. I'm not
sure how it works though.

Otherwise like you said someone is going to have to do the work to commit
all of these individually.

I found a bunch of open jiras but I didn't see any subtask, label or issue
that has them all linked. If they could be linked together it would make it
easier, to find them? Maybe open issues under translation?
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK/component/11490

French is a language which has more people actively maintaining it and much
more coverage (including French Canadian), so it's more likely you'd get
some resistance there for alternative translation. With German it seems
like there's hardly any tools translated so whatever new is better than
nothing.
