German versions #12

Closed ei8fdb closed 7 years ago

I've created this issue as @gunbert has started on some German translations. This is great!

@ei8fdb Thank you for the welcome! Generally Draw is seen as the right tool for changing small parts of text in pdfs. From several discussions I understood that it doesn't change anything but the text. So it should be fine. But before putting more work into it I'd like to have them crosschecked.

As for my tools:

I don't want to generate a lot of work on your side and I know that with these posters layout is critical so providing the source in some word processor format might be suboptimal.

What comes to my mind right now is LaTeX - open, keeps layout, many tools are available ...

But I just found #13. I guess I will wait a little, there are people talking who have much more experience with graphics/text than I have. I am certain that that result will suit me just fine :-)

Hi @guntbert

Thanks for letting me know about your tools and OS. This is helpful for us.

We've now created .SVGs of the files. If you do a merge you'll get the SVG files.

Can you try editing those and tell me how you're getting on?

Bestem gruss. Bis bald!

Working with SVG directly is nice :-) I'm going to send a new PR, with only the svg-source.

Question: I noticed, that the y-coordinates of the texts for the left and right columns are not always the same - is this on purpose? e.g. in low_vision.svg the code for the second row reads

<g id="Dont-2" transform="translate(867.000000, 1063.000000)">
    <text id="bury-information" font-family="HelveticaNeue-Bold, Helvetica Neue" font-size="34" font-weight="bold" fill="#000000">
                <tspan x="0" y="107">bury information</tspan>
                <tspan x="0" y="147">in downloads</tspan>
    </text>
...   
</g>
<g id="Do-2" transform="translate(115.000000, 1084.000000)">
     <text id="publish-all-informat" font-family="HelveticaNeue-Bold, Helvetica Neue" font-size="34" font-weight="bold" fill="#000000">
            <tspan x="0" y="84">publish all information</tspan>
            <tspan x="0" y="124">on web pages</tspan>
      </text>
...
</g>

@guntbert Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. The y-coordinates of the left and right columns may have been an oversight. Good spot!
