Standardise grammar of German pronouns "du", "dein", etc.

[sushidave]

Describe the bug In the German version of the WebApp and some transactional emails the pronouns are written inconsistently: "du/Du, dein/Dein, deine/Deine, deinem/Deinem, deiner/Deiner, deins/Deins, dich/Dich, dir/Dir". Example:

Hier kannst Du Deine Daten herunterladen indem du einen Download-Link anforderst, der an deine E-Mail-Adresse geschickt wird.

Expected behavior Consistant grammar for all German texts of a) the WebApp and b) of transactional emails.

Duden recommends lowercase, except at the beginning of a sentence and as an option for letters, see https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/dein_Possessivpronomen.

A style guide for developers/editors might be helpful for future texts.

Good point, I never got that big versions. I mean I would not feel insulted by a lower case version of “du” 😬

Quoting Hardy (core-team member):

Wir (das HC-Team) haben uns irgendwann darauf geeinigt, dass wir Anreden wie Du, Ihr,
Euch etc. immer mit großem Anfangsbuchstaben schreiben.
Konntest Du natürlich noch nicht wissen … aber ab jetzt gibt's keine Ausreden mehr ;-)

@christianeiselt could you fix that on the login page? (next easy contribution, yay! :wink: )

I do not like the big version as this is not a letter! Just my opinion, we get complains from the community that we are to “marketing oriented” and this is one of those things that are “over engendered” in my opinion.

@appinteractive i would also prefer lower case letters too, it is more personal and not so uplifting

[Lulalaby]

but for the moment, we needed a fixed version were all is the same and not both of it

Be aware that our translations also live in https://lokalise.co/public/829625945b3c04bf56d560.80490143/ (should be linked in the webapp readme)

@appinteractive I just signed up at lokalise.co and saw that some text are quite different to the de.json... i.e.: Lokalise: Beachte dass Deine Kommentare, Beiträge, Can Do, etc. wichtig für unseren Austausch in der Gemeinschaft sind. Falls Du diese dennoch löschen möchtest, musst Du dies unten markieren und zusätzlich bestätigen. vs de.json: Beachte das Deine Kommentare, Beiträge, CanDo’s, etc. wichtig für unsere Community sind. Falls Du diese mit Deinem Benutzerkonto löschen möchtest, musst Du unten die entsprechenden Haken setzen.. Can't we link the text somehow? With a single source? I'm afraid this will become really messy...
