The following topic was about how to translate the German language in a more meaningful (contemporary) way.

Must read - Contribute to Chevereto V4 translation

Hey there, I've enabled collaboration for Chevereto V4 translations and imported existing strings from previous Chevereto V3 translations. Most languages will require a minor update to catch up. We need help from everybody to get the software translated. 👉 You can contribute here...

In German (perhaps in other languages as well) there are several forms of salutation, as is well known.

"Sie"-Form
It is a form of politeness that we use when we do not know the other person. In business, for example, Sie is very often used instead of Du.

"Du"-Form
Du is a form for more familiar contact, usually when you know each other better.
A digression can be found here: https://dein-sprachcoach.de/duzen-siezen-wie-ist-es-im-deutschen-richtig/
 
This is one of the "german things". I can use the "Du"-form and be polite. Also there're changes in business during the last years from "Sie" to "Du".

Maybe @rudolfo can add a second german language file for translation (used for germany, austria and switzerland)
1. Deutsch (Du)
2. Deutsch (Sie)
 
I'd prefer "Du", but having "Du" and "Sie" as an option in different language files would be the gold standard, but also doubling the maintanence burden.
 
I don't speak German, but there are also different forms of salutation in my language.

In the past, I had considered becoming a big website, so I used a more polite form "Sie".
But now, I want to use a more familiar form "Du", and I will use "Sie" in contact emails and Terms.

I run a free instance by myself and I know I can't meet everyone's demands.
I feel that users who love my website are more like my friends, so I want to reach out to them with a more intimate attitude.

Since I am actually the only one operator of the website, I often think about whether to use "contact us" or "contact me".
