I was looking at "de_CH" as an adaption of "de" to the Swiss market. 
Those two files should be as much as possible similar. But I have seen 
now several accounting related words which we do not use here in 
Switzerland. I just started to use the program but I will use it on a 
regular basis now and I will probably stumble over many other words. And 
I would be willing to contribute them in the future too.

This is possible. I don't know where exactly we use other words and 
where the "de" language file is just not fully correct either. I think 
in general it would make more sense if only one person would maintain 
both files. And I would just report what I would change. The other 
person (in this case probably you) can then decide to change it in both 
files or only in de_CH.

Actually I have more words I want to change. But I didn't know how 
active this project here is (I am new on the devel-list) so I decided to 
just contribute first a small batch of changes.

Regarding my commit on maintaining de_CH: How much time per month would 
it take me to do it? Do you have any numbers? In general I am not 
against commiting on maintaining de_CH. I mean most of the words are 
general stuff like "do you want to save" and can always be copied from "de".
