I regenerated the HTML after fixing a few glitches, and pushed it to the
enc repo along with the PO. I don't think it is quite ready to go live,
so the redirect can stay for the time being.

Here are the changes:

* Quite a few msgstr's ended with '\n' whereas the msgid doesn't.
  I removed them because this is a fatal error.

* One msgstr had an English string from another paragraph. I removed it.
  This string remains untranslated.

* I untranslated the copyright line, per gnu.org instructions.

* I also untranslated Journalism++, because this is the name of a
  company. (By the way, they refer to themselves as 'J++'. We could
  use this abbreviation in the footer, don't you think Zoë?)

Etienne, you said that 'ß' is written 'ss' in Swiss German, but here is
what I found with "grep 'ß' esd-de.po":

Meinungsäußerung
*schließ*
Schließen
groß*
Groß*
größerer
heißen
Schutzmaßnahmen
*mäßig
außer*
Außer*
weiß
stoßen

Don't you want to replace those with 'ss' too?

All the best,
Thérèse
