Yes, this is known and has already been fixed.

Same as above :) thanks for spotting.

So much mails about this "deadkeys" (not only on -boot), and all leaded to
be translated as "Tottasten". I remember one knows "Tottasten" from
typewriter-courses.
Anyway, these "Tottasten" has been removed from translation, because
there is (atm) no option like "mit Tottasten" and they are confusing people.

right. Don't know why this was translated lower case, and don't know why
this wasn't recognized earlier.. thanks

"Lade ..." sounds better, yep.

Thanks for your time. One last thing about translations: Did you have
any (translation-related) problems while partitioning?
Thank you!
