German translation

[scento]

• Please review the annotations related to localization best-practices and fix them if possible.
• I can't test the "look-and-feel" of the application after the sign-up-process, since I am unable to connect to my server (issue Unable to login to ownCloud #19, Unable to login to Baikal #22).
• I would appreciate some response of someone testing the UI usability with a Flock Sync account.
• It would be nice if the UI designers respect the long words in some non-English languages...

Thanks for this @scento

I will make it my goal for tomorrow to improve Flock according to the localization best practices and merge this pull :)

[scento]

This request is mergeable without any codebase changes. It seems as if the announced refactoring needs some time, so I would appreciate a quick merge to extend the possible userbase by breaking language barriers.

Sorry for the hold up @scento, I wasn't able to work on the project at all for the past few days. Back to full time now!

@scento I spent some time yesterday removing unused strings from the project and modifying existing strings to use placeholders as you recommended, see a479eaa. Thanks again for your contribution :) if you are interested in continuing to help with the German localization please consider checking out the Flock Transifex page.

Even though the German translations for Flock are complete I cannot myself upload them to Transifex because then I would be in charge of maintaining the translation, a task I'm not very qualified for. If you were to open a German language request on the Flock Transifex project I would certainly approve it, this would would allow you to upload strings within the /values-de/strings.xml file you authored as well as provide translations for any future strings added to the app.

"It would be nice if the UI designers respect the long words in some non-English languages" - In reviewing strings.xml I noticed that the Server Tests UI has a lot of problems with this, I think this UI is already pretty poor so will keep the string length in mind when redesigning.
