Spotted a mistake?

Every sentence here was checked by hand, but 13,000 words is a lot of German and some of it will still be wrong. If the translation, the article, the plural or the audio looks off, say so — it goes straight to the person who maintains the deck, nobody else sees it, and it gets fixed.
