Please do not commit this diff. It contains several errors which appear to
be typical over-correction, frequently seen with conversions to the
(misguided, IMO) reformated German spelling:

(1)
Größe is written with a "sharp s" in ARS as well as in NRS. Hint: A long
vowel preceeds. This occurs in numerous places.


(2)
Same goes for "standardmäßig" which also retains the "sharp s".

s/dem Ende/des Endes/

-- "Rettet dem Dativ"?

Apart from the typos in both versions ('s/Inhalte/Inhalt/',
's/modifziert/modifiziert/'), the new version is less clear and
inconsistent in its non-translation of "disk".

Plain wrong.

NRS rears its ugly head...

...and quite a few more. The "well-intended" patch needs serious work and
is in several places worse than the original.
