Bug Description
The upstream maintainer of the german Kaffein translation has contacted our team due to the following problem:
A lot of strings in Kaffeine are different from the current german upstream version. I tried to fix this by importing a new po file manually marked as upstream translation, but nothing changed. My first idea was that these strings may have been translated in Rosetta in the days of the Dapper release, when many upstream translations were missing from Rosetta. But the translator of many (all?) of these strings is the old upstream translator, who never was member of the Ubuntu translation teams. I think the mayority of these strings has been imported into Rosetta for Hoary or breezy:
[Jürgen Kofler does not use Launchpad. This page was created on 2005-08-23 when importing the German (de) translation of kaffeine in Ubuntu Breezy package "kaffeine".]

For example the followings strings are affected:

I attached the output of Sebastian Heinleins tool podiff. It contains an endless list of also affected strings.
