Is it consent, that the content on language-localized #^https://project.hubzilla.org/page/hubzilla/hubzilla-project -Homepage mustn't a simple translation of english content are? I suggest this content - Hubzilla short-presentation on Hubzilla-Homepage - for cultural distinctiveness to adapt. For example significance and sensitivity, understanding for data privacy are in German qualitative different of these in USA or elsewhere.

We did not create the content with a particular culture in mind, other than what came unavoidably naturally from the contributing authors. In principle I agree with you, but in this particular case of German culture and this subject matter, if you revise and improve the content, there is a high probability we will want to use your revisions in the English version too.

My idea is, that the original english-content are change-free translated. And then with region/cultur-specific content _additional_ to main-content completed. With adequate target-group-specific thematic priority. For examply about Hubzilla-use, Hubzilla-benefits in German-specific legislative framework.

I'll have to think about that. I'm not sure it's a good idea to have significant differences in the content when it comes to the Hubzilla software project itself. If you want to address very German-specific issues such as particular laws, etc, perhaps we should have an explicit section for that. Here's a thought: we can have one of those language selector menu items in the nav bar. When you select a language (or the page automatically sets to your browser language), then you get the same content but translated to your language, except for a specific section that has region-specific content if that makes sense. So if the language is German, that local section could discuss how Hubzilla fits into German law or whatever, but we'd want to make it clear that this kind of information is not an official part of the Hubzilla software project.
