Easy opportunity to contribute to gnucash ! (German updates)

[Geert Janssens]

Hi Marcus,

Thank you for these updates.

I just realized this conversation didn't happen on the gnucash-devel 
mailing list. I'm forwarding the conversation now as I know there are 
several other native German speakers on the list as well.

For me your updated messages look fine and they seem indeed to be more 
geared to non-developers which I like.

Regards,

Geert
