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".
