That's because the translation for "Edit:" is tagged as 'fuzzy' in the
local/po/de.po.  "Fuzzy" means that (at some point) the translation was
_automagically_  (had to use that word, just for you :-) ) guessed 
by msgmerge base on similarity to some other translation already
in de.po.  (Msgfmt, by default, ignores the 'fuzzy' entries.)

If you use po-mode in emacs, it's very easy to find and manipulate these
flags ('f' takes you to the next fuzzy translation, 'TAB' un-fuzzies it.)

Which ones?
