-- Some columns like `identifier` which contains values like Ultraleichtflugzeug, Flugboot seem to need translation. Also columns like `description`.

After investigation, it seems that most of the German aircraft names are brand names for various aircraft barring a few. So using the existing German names would make sense without much need for translation.

So we will close this for now unless, circumstances change.
