I'm closing this bug in coreutils as the translation is not done here. Note also that the tranlation seems correct: http://translationproject.org/PO-files/de/coreutils-8.20-pre1.de.po So I suspect the issue is in the generation of the man page, or the final rendering/display on your system. thanks, Pádraig.
