Thanks for volunteering, and welcome aboard!

Email Self-Defense has been translated to Swiss German by Etienne Ruedin
<ruedin@iww.ch>. The translation is available on the development
server [0]. It isn't published yet because hasn't been proofread. Would
you like to help with this? If so, you will need to subscribe to this
mailing list, and get write access to the Git development repo. The
instructions are in the translation guide [1].

In one of his messages to the mailing list, Etienne Ruedin commented on
the specificities of Swiss German:

Please note that HTML pages are generated from a PO file [2]. This is
what needs to be proofread.

I noticed that one string remains untranslated, and that some of the ß
haven't been converted to ss.

All the best,
