Hi Ben,
thanks a lot for your reply. I added some suggestions for error messages
that sound "clearer" to me.

So this means the changed path itself is missing, not some additional
information associated with it?
Maybe:
"Changed path '%s' is missing in revision %ld"
or
'%s' is missing in the list of changed paths in revision %ld"
are better messages?
BTW "Changed paths:" from 'svn log -v' outoput has not yet appeared in the
strings to translate. Maybe someone missed it?

Suggestion for a message:
"'%s' in revision %ld is not related to the working copy"

Then "against" makes sense again and I've got a meaningful translation. I
needed the context to know how it was used. Thanks.

Why doesn't it say: "Svndiff window has already moved past requested data"
then?

Yeah, suggestion: "The python bindings threw an exception"

Thanks ;-), the grammar quite often doesn't make sense to me.

Yes, "editor" is the same.
"drive" is to 95% associated with "driving a car", 4% with "chain drive" and
the like and to 1% with "hitting a backhand drive long line".
"driver" is a "mouse driver" or a "bus driver"
most german translations will sound like "the report was riding a roller
coaster" ;-)
You suggest "steuern" which means "steering", "controlling" or as a noun
"Steuerung" -> "control" /"controller"
How about: "REPORT: editor process was not completed successfully"
or: "REPORT: editor control was not completed successfully"
or even: "REPORT response handling: editor control was not completed
successfully"
Cheers & thanks
