German (Localization of numbers and measurement units)
Localize numbers and measurement units according to the unit list below. Imperial units should NOT be deleted.
*Secondary quotation marks are used for example when a phrase in quotation marks contains another phrase in quotation marks.
**But: 5%ig
***This depends on whether the slash separates 2 individual words (e.g. on/off – no space) or 2 expressions (e.g. button ON / button OFF – space before and after the slash).
Always put a space between the translation of “No.” (French: N°; German: Nr. etc.) and the ensuing number.
