Hello,

Just wondering if there is a reason why German month- and daynames are  
omitted from the data/csv files to translate dates into German? Or am I  
just blind?

Thanks,  
Phil

Hi PhilK

Yor’re right, there is not the translation to german.  
Maybe are just forgotten.

Ok, I created the forgotten entries myself now and could contribute them  
to the project as a patch somehow?
