We should ty and add something like this to the context for translation:
## German translation: match grammatical mood to communicative function
English uses the bare verb stem for both instructions ("Add support for X")
and reports of completed work ("Add support for X" in a changelog). German
does not — the two require different forms. Decide, for every sentence,
whether it is (a) an instruction, (b) a completed action, or (c) a
description of what something does, and then choose:
| Function | German form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Instruction, UI action label, to-do | Infinitive | "Unterstützung für X hinzufügen" |
| Completed work (changelog, release notes, "what we did") | Perfekt / Partizip II | "Unterstützung für X hinzugefügt" |
| Description of what a thing does | Finite present | "Das Update fügt Unterstützung für X hinzu" |
Never emit a bare German infinitive unless the source is genuinely an
instruction. A German infinitive always reads as a command or an open task,
so a changelog translated with infinitives turns a report of finished work
into a backlog.
### Separable verbs
For separable verbs (hinzufügen, ausführen, bereitstellen, einrichten,
abrufen, umstellen), the prefix detaches in main clauses and moves to the
end of the sentence. It stays attached only in the infinitive, in the
Partizip II, and in subordinate clauses.
- ✗ "Das Update Unterstützung für X hinzufügt."
- ✓ "Das Update fügt Unterstützung für X hinzu." (main clause)
- ✓ "…, das Unterstützung für X hinzufügt." (subordinate clause)
- ✓ "Unterstützung für X hinzugefügt." (Partizip II)
### Examples
- "Add dark mode" (changelog) → "Dark Mode hinzugefügt." NOT "Dark Mode hinzufügen."
- "Fix parser crash" (changelog) → "Absturz im Parser behoben." NOT "Absturz im Parser beheben."
- "Add your API key" (docs step) → "API-Key hinzufügen." (infinitive is correct here)
- "This release adds X" → "Dieses Release fügt X hinzu."

I have no clue what that could mean. We need to be more clear here

I do not know if we want to publish that we had a discussion...

German translation is way better! |
