[I do not regularly use German as UI language in Inkscape - i.e. my comments here are based on random findings]

'Inkscape Preferences > Interface > Language': 'System default' (first entry): the german translation is technically wrong IMHO.

"System default": AFAIU Inkscape uses the OS locale settings (usually $LANG or other OS-specific mechanisms). Choosing a specific language will override the system-wide language default.
"Zur Vorgabe machen": This looks more like the heading or description of the language list and does not tell the user that it is a setting itself.

Unfortunately I do not have a better translation ATM - but maybe you know what I mean? Is there any other common phrase for 'system default' (and not: _set_ system default) in German?
