I also considered the Sandbox theme, which is a solid foundation and
from this perspective good candidate for a WordPress default theme. It
is gettexted and "Skins" are a more lightweigth layout mechanism than
creating a whole theme. ... so far for the theory. Most style developers
prefer to create a whole new theme derived from Sandbox rather than
using the simple Skin mechanism.

And coming back to the original "Tellerrand"-issue: Where do I find a
good German translation of Sandbox? It's actually in Milan's list and I find sandbox.pot in the Internet, but you pointed out, that translations
may vary in quality.


Christian, translating a theme once it is gettexed is an amazingly simple job. Unfortunatly the page in WP Codex about themes in your language, which for sure you have read and probaly got frightened, makes it sound like something only "experts" can do. Forget that.

So, once you have found a theme you like and made sure it is gettexed, you can translate it yourself in very little time. Suchly the translation will be totally up to your expectations and fine tuned to your personal needs. All you need is Poedit (google for it), an amazing little app which comes for free both for Nix and Windows, and a good comand of the language you want to translate into. Not even the POT file is necessary.

BTW you can find the POT for Sandbox online now because me and others kept on bugging the Sandbox outher for it. Sandbox deserves to be translated into German also, is is so pleasant to work with.
