[Mailman-Users] Question about language of the admin interface

[Sven Dittmar]

Hi all again,

I found a complete translation to German in the directory 
mailman-2.1.1/{templates|messages}/de.

In mailman-2.1.1/messages/de/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po is translated to 
German already.

E.g.

# Mailman/Gui/NonDigest.py:28
#: Mailman/Gui/NonDigest.py:34
msgid "Non-digest options"
msgstr "Non-Digest-Optionen"

But I get the "Non-digest options" instead of "Non-Digest-Optionen".

Is this a bug or do I have to enable something else that 
DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE=de?

thanks!
sven
