    Why is the German Windows translation so bad?

    Starting with Windows 10, the German translation got really bad.

    There is a
    Style Guide     (from 2014) mentioning several rules on 102 pages.

    • Why are these rules not followed in Windows 10?
    • Are there enough competent translators?
    • Is there a dedicated QA team for the translations?
    • Why is this style guide 2.5 years old? There must have been some possible improvements to it during that time.
    Examples for bad translations:

    • Generally the "Sie" salutation is used, but in several places "Du". Press Windows, A, Backspace to see an example.
    • In Windows Defender, the sentence "Update definitions" meaning "Update the definitions" is translated as "Updatedefinitionen", which means "The update definitions". (There are several more of this kind.)
    • In Windows Defender, the long text in the Update tab mentions an "Aktualisieren" button, but that button is labelled "Updatedefinitionen", making it double-wrong.
