Hello Vadim,

at the moment I haven't much free time, but if it is ok for you, that I need two weeks for this, 
I'll do my part. 

Some questions and remarks:

1. How to deal with German umlauts and the es-zet? 

2. In German there are two kinds of translating 'you' respective two ways of communicating 
with the reader. One is direct, personally, private and the other one is more elaborated, 
impersonal, official, polite, ... . Which kind of communication with the user does the Maxima 
community prefer? 

3. The German manual translation is unfinished yet. I would appreciate if this unfinished 
translation will be included. Perhaps this could be a way to get some help from somewhere. 
Concerning this I will include a special remark into the table of contents. 

 I also would like to make readable during the installation process that the German doc is 
unfinished. What would be a suitable place for this remark? Perhaps
es.ReferenceManualGerman=Reference Manual (German, incomplete)

4. I assume, that a typing error on the left side of  es.Germen=German  in es.iss doesn't 
matter. It is simply program code.
