German Translation

[s8starie]

The translation of the page in german is mostly finished.

Here are a few open issues (in order of importance):

• the page needs to be proof read (a lot). It is likely that there exist both spelling mistakes and places which didn't get translated
• Sometime the page displays messages received by the server. The server needs to be changed to send keys for the json file instead
• The json file for the english translation is incomplete
• Some dialog headers and placeholders got removed, since I did not know how to load their text from the json file
• The input type file text of the documents tab did not get translated, since changing the text seems to be complicated (see issue Changing the text of an <input type = "file /> element #1)
• Some text had to be changed to work in both german and english. Example:
  updateTips(tipID, "Length of " + fieldName + " must be between " + min + " and " + max + " characters.");

If anyone has a solution for those points feel free to tell (or directly implement it)

Translation the page was done as follows:

• A json file inside the 'langs' folder contains the entire text in the format. The key is the english text (or a succinct translation of the text) and the value is the german text
• Static html elements that contain text receive the following attributes:
  class="text-container" data-text-section =
  data-text-elem=
  this changes the text to the german version
• For text generated by scripts one can use : window.languageData[
  ][] to get the corresponding text
