I think the original proposal "ohne tote Tasten" sound more precise in
german. But as I'm only quite a native german speaker the big cousins to
the north can decide themselves what they like more ;-)
(We speak some funny german dialect here, which real germans don't
understand. If I find the time I could translate d-i to it only to get
the swiss german back to languagechooser again.)
