first of all, thanks for the translation.

but... (there is always a but, no?) those *_txt stuff should be translated in the wiki. we are syncing with a script that will overwrite your changes in the po file if they are not in the wiki.

hi - i've updated your article in the wiki and added the second half of the untranslated text as english version for now (if you find the time, please also translate this part) - see http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Basiseinrichtung/Lasergesch%C3%BCtze

Manux, did you translate manually or using some tool? The wiki-text seems somewhat clunky to me...?

I did it manually but it was a bit late that day ...

Anyway i looked over it and it seems fine to me.

Why do you think it is clunky ?

It is a wiki just help to improve it  ;)

Well it's a little hard to explain - it's not the way I'd expect anyone to talk in real life, sounds more like translated word-by-word, you know?
The sentences are a little long and (at least some of) their parts would be arranged otherwise in natural language.

Anyway, every help is welcome, and don't find it polite to change someone else's work without urgent necessity! Otherwise I could have translated this by myself before... ;)
I already did some pages in the wiki, but I must admit, POEDIT is much more convenient to me...  :P
