German language testing

[davidjharder]

Hey Joey, I am testing the tool in regard of german translation (de_DE). What would I need to do to let transition fail on purpose to check error messages? I can think of not giving enough disk space and cutting internet-connection during download. I did the latter while it was downloading Budgie. No error messages here. After a short while, it just went from Downloading... to Finished and stopped there. Is this desired behaviour? After restarting tool, I could restart the download and tool would then install Budgie.
Then I have reset VM and started from beginning.
After successful installation of Budgie or XFCE, tool again just says Finished. (Just to be clear: translation was fine. Tool originally printed Beendet here and before. I refer here to original english strings for comprehension.)
I had to figure out myself that it's time to close the window and reboot.
I have never seen this dialog {DE} Successfully installed, please reboot to continue.
After reboot, if you then login to MATE anyways, transition-tool autostarts.
It does not autostart however for removal of MATE if you login to Budgie/XFCE. Here you have to start it manually to proceed.
Also, after installation of XFCE and removal of MATE, this dialog appears: Successfully Completed Transition to {} We hope you enjoy using your new desktop environment.
This dialog however does not appear after installation of Budgie and removal of MATE. Here, it just says Finished and you have again to figure out yourself to just close the window.

If you rerun transition tool after removal of MATE you get an error dialog that says: Logout and login to the MATE session first to continue This string is actually in english. That is the only time I have seen a non-translated string.
All german translations also have been correct.

Apart of my above comments, tool works great.

I've split the issues found here into #6 and #7.

This may be due to this: 35d4562. I imagine the existing translations may need to be updated.

Yeah, I'll need to do a translation update to get that straggler sorted

I see here two issues: There is no Logout and login to the MATE session first to continue string on transiflex.
And: shouldn't tool know that it itself removed MATE, hence, there is no MATE session to login anymore

This is mostly for if you run a tool on a different desktop environment first e.g. a random user tries to run the tool on their plasma or gnome install.
