Hi Kai-Martin,

Here are the steps required to create the translation:
 * add de_DE to the LINGUAS file
 * create a copy of libgeda30.pot --> de_DE.po
 * translate the strings in de_DE.po (I've used kbabel for that)
 * run "make install" in libgeda/po directory again.

I'm not happy with all translations, improvements are very welcome. 
Better expressed in German:
Die Übersetzungen klingen manchmal hölzern und einige (Fach-)Begriffe 
hören sich in deutsch einfach bescheuert an. z.B. grid, snap, slot, 
attach, ...

Not really, but the steps from libgeda worked for me in gattrib, too.

 * Add de_DE to LINGUAS
 * copy the pot-file to de_DE.po
 * (translate)
 * run "make install" again.

If it does not work for you I can push the initial translation files to 
the git repo either this evening or tomorrow.

Regards
Werner
