I switched also German to use po4a some months ago. I announced this in a
few bug reports but not in all is it looks ...

To be honest I have much less time than even a few weeks ago. I will very
likely not beeing able to translate the documentation of aptitude and even
for the GUI strings I need a fixed release date.

Nevertheless I work sporadically on aptitude and know that some l10n bugs are
still open. If it contains a patch or mentions just a few simple typos I
should be able to work on these especially before a new release. Maybe this
weekend ...

If you want to send a patch against the current PO file feel free to do so
but for ordinary typos it doesn't help a lot as fixing these manually and
applying a patch requires the same time (including proofreading, performing
a build to see whether there are syntax errors, ...).
