This mail is for "translating" the Toolbox into German for the new GIMP User Manual[1] and the german translation of GIMP. I wasn't sure how to translate the Toolbox to German for the manual. But please, hold your breath and let me explain why. I was digging a bit around in the net to find out, which word is more used for the Toolbox: "Werkzeugfenster" or "Werkzeugkasten". The most tutorials I found are using "Werkzeugkasten", even Sven uses "Werkzeugkasten" in his book. But "Werkzeugfenster" is often more used in forums, when people try to describe a problem and they aren't familiar with The GIMP. I spoke to Ellen[2] to find out what she think. She said, that "Werkzeugfenster" will be more descriptive. "Werkzeugkasten" is a bit odd, because she have to think first, what I'm refering to. Thats exactly my feeling. If I were a new user, "Werkzeugfenster" will be a more descriptive word for the Toolbox than "Werkzeugkasten". But, maybe I'm totally wrong and other may think of a completly different window/dialog? I looked in the gnome-i18n/glossary file for german as well, but couldn't find anything suitable. Maybe this can be added after it is decided to have something "official". So, what do you think: "Werkzeugfenster" or "Werkzeugkasten"?
