Formal / Informal German language

[nullinger]

Hi,

it seems that the language of OTS depends on the browser.
Would it be possible to also implement formal German texts, e. g. „Sie“ instead of „Du“?
Maybe with a new parameter in customize.yaml?

I can provide all texts if needed.

Thank you

Interesting request… I see the reasoning for this especially in corporate / enterprise environments where people still feel offended by informal language… 🤔

Sadly there is no difference between informal and formal German in regards to the browser settings or language code. Both will be de-DE and therefore collide. So to provide both in one the generated language file would need a switch which version of the strings to register before the application is loaded.

Having the customizations this would be possible I think… 🤔

Need to have a look how to implement this properly but should be possible.

@nullinger please have a look at the translations in commit 40dddf4 and the changes in PR #98 - This introduces formal German translations to be triggered through a customization flag.
