In my opinion we should try to have a consistent German translation,
so we assume that the first the user is going to do is to change the
language (many users also change the keyboard layout, so they will
also change the language). Any other comments on this?

For me "Netzwerkeinstellungen" sounds better.

I like the term "Manipulation der MAC-Adresse" more because it is the
technical thing that is being done, we do not cover the MAC-Adress, it
gets changed.

I remember the discussion we had a few months ago on this term ;) I am
not sure what to choose here...

I think that in general we should agree on a consistent translation
between the wiki and the software. So either we change the strings in
Tails itself or on the wiki...? Comments welcome! (:


Cheers!
