There are some errors in the german localization:

  • SetupTypeDlgCompleteButton: "Vllständig" instead of "Vollständig"

  • CustomizeDlgDiskCost: "Datenträgerverwendung" is too large for the button.

  • CustomizeDlgBrowse: "Durchsuchen..." is too large for the button.

  • WixUIRetry: "Wiederhol" instead of "Wiederholen"

    While investigating this bug so far, I happened to notice that "Vllständig" doesn't appear to pass any of the German translator / spellcheck programs I have available to me.

    Is it possible there is a typo in that string? The other string "Wiederhol" seems to check out okay.

    They're both typos (German is my native language).

    Thanks for the clarification Caryptes.

    Could you help clarify what the proper strings here should be?

    In English, the string "Complete" is currently translated into German as "Vollständig".
    In English, the string "Retry" is currently translated into German as "Wiederholen".

    What are the correct German strings here? I would welcome a reply from anyone who speaks German fluently.

    @micarls: Yes, "Vollständig" and "Wiederholen" would be correct.

    About the other two strings: the current strings are too long!
    I'll recommend to use the same strings as InstallShield:
    instead of "Durchsuchen...": "Ändern..."
    and instead of "Datenträgerverwendung": "Speicherplatz".

    I'm afraid we can't accept translations from another vendor, but since there aren't typos in the existing strings, I've put in a fix on this dialog for the spacing, so that it works for German (and Russian as well, since it was broken too).
