[Po4a-devel] Bug#646173: Typos found while translating the po4a documentation into German

[Helge Kreutzmann]

Hello David,
the next batch of corrections / improvements. If you have any
questions regarding them, do not hesitate to ask. I prepared them the
same way as last time, I hope this is ok.

Regarding the translation: My work speed will slow down quite a bit;
I'm trying to solicit another translator to help me, but no
guarantees. 

Greetings

           Helge
