Bug Description

The German-language version of the online-help on screen dimming:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/power-whydim.html
points to non-existing configuration. It says:

So verhindern Sie die automatische Abdunklung des Bildschirms:
    Öffnen Sie die Aktivitäten-Übersicht und tippen Sie Leistung ein.
    Klicken Sie auf Leistung, um das Panel zu öffnen.
    ...

However in Artful Aardvark (Ubuntu 17.10) there is no such configuration entry "Leistung". Therefore the help guide leads nowhere, and frustrates users.
Instead, the config section is named "Energie". Please update the help page.

Thanks for your report!

This seems to be an inconsistency in the German translations of "Power", and yes, I suppose it should better be changed in the documentation. So what's needed is a correction of the German translation of gnome-user-docs (which happens upstream at GNOME).

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-user-docs/tree/gnome-help/de/de.po

I get the impression that there is a need to replace "Leistung" with "Energie" in the translations of more pages but power-whydim.page.

affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) → gnome-user-docs (Ubuntu)
Changed in ubuntu-translations:
