Sorry Ziasod, but i don't like it if sensible information is posted in this forum, from a third person and not the person itself.
Even if there are laws which says "You need to put them on your site, visible for everyone".

You might want to have a look at http://svn.gna.org/svn/warzone/trunk/po/de.po and fill in what is missing.
msgid is the english text and msgstr the german. msgctxt means the context of this string, in case there are multiple versions, but with different meanings.
When you are finished, just attach the file to the patch tracker at https://gna.org/patch/?group=warzone or send it via mail to the development mailinglist at "warzone-dev gna org". (First one is better, since it guarantees it will not be forgotten.)

// Edit (Giel): Fixed first link

And i think there are lots of other germans who would like to play the Campain in german

Some years ago we reformed our spelling, since this, its allowed to typ "computer" like "komputer". No joke ...
But everyone i know use the good old "computer"

yeah... we need more translations in general... i think there's too much of an assumption, at least in my country, that everyone in western europe who's proficient with computers is able to speak english, and moreover, the assumption that everyone who does would prefer to speak english. bad assumption...

Not many above 16 would like going to movie remaked with dutch voices. i been on vacations to many countries. It's always dutch people doing stupid stuff, like talking czechian, bulgarian, croatian or so :) [lot of thoose countries had rusian instead of germans furder east)

What i notice as dutch u get shoveled english down ur troughed at young age. later on ur forced to do gerams and french next to it. maybe at sum larger skool u can switch 1 for spanish.
at higher end education u get greek+latin as well just to keep things simpel :P
