Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gaim
In the German translation the following words appear: »Buddy«, »Buddies«
and »Buddys«.
The word »Buddy« does not exist in any German dialect known to me. (Even
if it did, its plural would not be »Buddies«. And even if it was, it
would not be »Buddies« here and »Buddys« there.) Furthermore it is
incomprehensible to an average person of German mother tongue, even if
fairly aware of the English language.
Proposed solution, open to debate: Use the word »Kontakt«, plural
»Kontakte«.
