Thanks Reini,

I appreciate this great feedback because my German grammar and =
vocabulary=20
is a little weak, especially when it comes to computers. (Hah, I was=20
surprised the first time I read about "Speicher" in a German computer=20
magazine.)

I have no problems with your alterations. I have some time now to make =
the=20
changes, or you could do them yourself.

The Anmelden/Ausmelden I had borrowed from yahoo.de. I've also seen the=20=

word 'Link' und 'Links' elsewhere on the Internet used untranslated, and=20=

also if there already is a WikiPrecedent (so to speak) for leaving=20
BackLinks untranslated then I agree, let's stick with that.

How do you feel about using Vergleichen for diff? This one I really =
wasn't=20
sure whether to translate, and then I thought of "=C4pfel mit Birnen=20
vergleichen". The abbreviated form (vgl.) also seems a little strange to=20=

me, but it is the correct abbreviated form according to=20
<http://dict.leo.org>.


(Also of interest, apparently operating systems like Mac and Windows =
each=20
use different German words for things like buttons, checkboxes etc. but =
I=20
don't know any specific examples.)
