  • This fix issue: N/A (translation update, no specific issue)

Updated the German (DE) translation in 'base.po' with the following changes:

  • Added missing translations. (WiFi-related strings and more.)
  • Added missing translations for boot-loader/removable media strings.
  • Added missing translations for print service.
  • Fixed incorrect fuzzy translations.
  • Added missing translation for compression algorithm and Network Manager back end options

Note: Translation-only changes, no functional code modified.
The changes were not tested with a live ISO, but the risk of breaking anything is minimal as only .po strings were updated.

Updated German translations for various prompts and messages in the base.po file.

I have left some suggestions, most of which for inconsistent/incorrect capitalisation.

Suggested change
msgstr "Auf wechseldatenträger-Pfad installieren"
msgstr "Auf Wechseldatenträger installieren"

It's either this or "unter Wechseldatenträger-Pfad installieren", though the former feels clearer to me.

This should be clear enough as-is, writing "Wechseldatenträger-Pfad" feels redundant with the path already there.

We install/save files in einem Ordner but unter einem Namen (which is the full path).
