I don't know about -de but one problem I have with some translation
corrections is when neologisms are promoted without the promoter being
able to give any reference for them, whereas I do actually try to
check technical dictionaries when I'm uncertain.  We should try to
avoid making every debian translation into an English-other pidgin.

So, yes, please report mistranslations, but please don't be offended
if a source is given for the translation used and one is asked for a
reference to support the suggested change.

The solution is for users to find better browser language-switching. I
think there are some extensions for Iceweasel, but probably hacking is
still required on this.  It's surprising it's still a problem, given
how many hackers it probably affects, but I guess it's partly because
so many web sites don't use content negotiation.
