Hello Tobias,
according to "git blame" you added the FIXME (or moved it, then it
would be from Martin) in 2014.
Can you say something for this FIXME (see below)?

Hi,
sorry, I don't know what this FIXME is about. I did not add it, it was
part of the initial commit to git of the translation back in 2012.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what would need to be fixed here. Maybe
this bug report should be closed.
Regards,
Tobias
