Hi,
a few things I noticed while translating:

The amount of inline pages can be confusing sometimes because it can
happen easily that I miss to "translate" (adding .de at the end of it)
them, because they can be mistaken with the pictures/stylesheets.
Maybe this process can be automatized? (adding the corresponding file
extension for each language by default). It's also sort of difficult
to review inline pages, because the page that includes the inline has
also be translated together with it (but I think this is how things
are and I just have to get used to it)

Another thing that could be improved is the "Back" button, it has also
to be translated everytime. Maybe this could be put into another
inline file?
If there's more, I'll let you know! (:

Since muri already responded to this in a seperate message I won't
answer here. I'm just used to write numbers as words smaller than 12.

Cheers!
