Hi,
thanks for the detailed follow up on terminology!
Sycamoreone started to write a glossary some weeks ago and we should add
those terms to it I think.

I have no opinion on this one yet.

I prefer "Netzwerkeinstellungen". I think it's Frank Anonima who
translated all the "-konfiguration" to "-einstellungen" in Transifex and
I think that that's the correct thing to do, as "Konfiguration" is a too
technical term once again.
> So we are either inconsistent with Tails Greeter or the wiki...
> - Similarly, we currently say "Verschleiern der MAC-Adresse"

> "Manipulation der MAC-Adresse" (from transifex)
Here I prefer "verschleiern" as this is much more specific than
"manipulieren". "Manipulieren" does not explain what this option
actually does.
> - The same goes for "Verschlüsselter beständiger Speicherbereich" that
> we use here and in the wiki and "Beständige Speicherpartition" in
> Tails Greeter.
I think we agreed on "Beständige Speicherpartition" recently.
> For reference, this is the translation in Tails Greeter:

Thanks for working on this,
Cheers!
