German translation of "svn help st" is not showing, although provided in de.po

[Paul Maier <sv...@web.de>]

Hello,

Obverved:
All svn output, error messages, online help comes in German.
But "svn help status", "svn help switch" and "svn help update" 
print in English.

Expected:
"svn help status", "svn help switch" and "svn help update" 
should print in German.

The translation exists in the repository:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/subversion/po/de.po,
lines 9493 - 9587 (svn help status),
lines 9626 - 9667 (svn help switch) and
lines 9723 - 9769 (svn help update).

These are the binaries I use:
http://alagazam.net/svn-1.6.13/Setup-Subversion-1.6.13.msi

Thank you for having a look into that.

Greetings,
  Paul.

First, this is trunk and not /branches/1.6.x or /tags/1.6.13.

Second, it's possible that the message has been updated but not the
translation.  Based on your description (all messages --- including
Subversion-specific message strings --- are in German, except these
three), I suspect that is the case.

There's not much you can do, other than get someone to update the
translations --- or jumping in and doing that yourself!
