Bug Description

This is how we currently use the word "pitch" in our translatable content:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/mixxxdj/viewstrings/#en/github-master/38118835?q=pitch

Pitch has become a meaningless term, we have it all mixed up.

To ensure the quality of the translations, we need unambiguous source strings if possible.

We should define when to use
a) Key
b) Pitch
c) Tempo

and stick to it. The current source strings need a clean-up by a native speaker. Who can help?

Atm the level of participation with regards to translations are pretty good, so i`d like to use that steam and push a cleaned up version of so we can have it translated asap.

My view on this is like that:

a) Key = de: Tonart
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_%28music%29
A track property = Original Key
In case of a pitched track = Current Key
(All tones a pitched by the same amount the mode (Minor/Major) is unchanged
Linear Pitch: this is what a turntable can do change the turning speed, tempo and pitch changes with the same ratio.

b) Pitch = de: Tonhöhe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_%28music%29
Pitch = 0 track it at its original key

c) Tempo = de: Tempo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempo
Measured in BPM
Mixx has no dedicated independent Tempo slider, but it can adjusted by the Speed slider independent from pitch when keylock is enabled.

d) Speed = de: Geschwindigkeit
This is what is labeled as "pitch" on turntables. We drop the word in Mixxx for it, because we can change pitch and tempo independent. The Speed slider does not effect pitch if keylock is enabled.

Read: http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/bugfix_workflow

Find all strings containing pitch, tempo and speed and change the wording according to the definition above if not already happened.
