I wonder if 'click to' and thus 'Klicken, um' is really needed.

In HTML you should never use a hyperlink named "here" like "click here to open Google". It is always preferable to use "Open Google". I feel like help texts in tooltips, etc should act the same.

Same for related translations. What do you think?

Our rationale was that it’s not obvious that this is a clickable link at all, unlike a specially-styled item within text - and we purposely make this placeholder text lighter than other text, not more prominent like links usually are, so it doesn’t distract you too much if you don’t want a title at all.

FYI, I thought it best to leave this in here, as @JonasGutermuth did an admirable job keeping the translation short. But @jnehlmeier it's true that this may not be completely necessary. We've been discussing this in other contexts, and if the translation is much longer than the English and users can be expected to understand that this is a clickable link without the "Click to", you're right it may be better to omit it so it doesn't take up too much space - see #2252 (comment)

Good design is to never tell a user that something is clickable, it must visually be clear that it is clickable. Desaturated, light text might look good, but gives poor visual clues.

So maybe you should think about restyling the elements in question. E.g. make everything clickable the same color, or add a consistent edit icon, change the mouse cursor on hover, or even remove clickable placeholder text and instead use input boxes in some edit panel.

(Not to beat a dead horse, and I don't mean to say we would never change this design, @jnehlmeier raises good points, just hoping this conversation may be useful to future translation contributors)

Good design is to never tell a user that something is clickable

Definitely a good rule of thumb, though a similar thing happens in Powerpoint and Keynote:

In our Chart editor (which is the original context for which editable: true was created, though of course we hope it finds other uses) we do have input boxes in an edit panel as an option, and these placeholders do get an edit cursor on hover (which titles do not get if they are not editable). Our design goal was to make it clear that you can just click and type, but in a soft enough way that users won't feel the need to delete placeholders for titles they don't want, and they will understand that, just like in PPT/Keynote, when you're done editing and view your plot in a non-editable context these placeholders disappear if not replaced by other text.

Wikipedia uses SVG instead of svg. The double space is also in english.

@alexcjohnson The English key ('close: ') has a space after the colon. Is this correct? In #2217 (comment), you said that "No translation keys or values should start or end with spaces"

Right, we should remove all of these trailing spaces. Since this is the first full translation @JonasGutermuth was in uncharted territory, and translation-keys.txt doesn't make this clear due to the path/line comments. My apologies for not making this more clear earlier!

open, high, low, and close (translated above as schließen) all pertain to the financial chart which in English has the same name (OHLC). These refer to stock prices: the first and last trade (usually within one trading day) and the highest and lowest prices of any trade that day.

'Dichte: ' (or more accurately 'Dichteschätzung: ', or even more accurately 'Kerndichteschätzung: '). Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a common abbreviation for this term in German.

Just the number of links or their weight, too

Just the number of links. Normally incoming and outgoing have the same total weight, which is displayed as the node size and in its label.

Toggle Spike Lines: spike lines are what we call the lines to the axis or across the plot that can show up when you hover on a point - this button turns them on or off. See original PR #1461

Toggle show closest data on hover: sometimes there are two buttons available: "show closest data on hover" and "compare data on hover". Other times there is only one button, because only "closest" is meaningful, and this button turns it on or off (no hover effects at all).

Turntable rotation: This is a funny one: in 3D plots, you have two different rotation modes: "Orbital rotation" (translated above as "Orbitalrotation") allows you to grab the scene and rotate it in a path-dependent way along any rotation axis (ie at any instant the rotation axis is perpendicular to both the 3-vector you started at, and the 3-vector implied by your mouse motion. "Turntable rotation" maps x motion of the mouse to rotation around the z axis, and y motion of the mouse to tilt of the z axis toward or away from the viewer. This does not allow you to tip the scene sideways but can be more intuitive to use. It is named after the old record player turntables.

I know what it does, but I'm not aware of the German word.

The closest translation I've got in mind is "Fadenkreuz" (engl. crosshairs). But I think it is a bad translation. I'm sure there is a better translation.

Blender calls turntable rotation "Drehscheibenorbit"... not sure if this is a commonly understood term, though

I don't think orbital / turntable rotation is particularly commonly understood in English either ;) As long as it's clear to users that these are two different rotation modes, I'm happy.
