James, If you plan to work on translation infrastructure for the next release, please consider separating "Interface" in two different items.
#. i18n-hint: refers to Audacity's user interface settings #: src/prefs/DevicePrefs.cpp src/prefs/GUIPrefs.cpp src/prefs/MidiIOPrefs.cpp msgid "Interface" msgstr "Schnittstelle" The i18n-hint refers to only the first use case, which is the Audacity GUI (which is correct for GUIPrefs.cpp). However, in MidiIOPrefs.cpp it is not used in the user interface meaning, but interface to an audio adapter. This makes it kind of hard to translate appropriately to the German language (at least).
