As for the German translation you can also ask me if Matthias isn't

de translations are far from being complete. I think that there're only
1 or 2 packages translated. Please go ahead and inform the
gnome-de@gnome.org mailinglist about the progress! Thanks.

The German translation is quite complete except a few packages. Before
translating anything please contact the German mailinglist first. It'd
be better for coordination.
Please have a look at http://chrisime.dyndns.org/stuff/packages.html
