176 entries added to de.ts:

153 from features that shipped after the translation pass — privacy and safety settings, message ordering, subscribed and birthday calendars, label nesting, the file preview, the unsaved-changes prompts
23 keyboard bindings, whose group and description are registered in English at the call site and translated at render (see #248)

Follows the decisions this file already pins: Sie throughout, and the fixed terminology, so Ordner, Nachricht, Konversation, Posteingang, Papierkorb, Entwürfe and Label read the same here as everywhere above.

Deliberately left out

Fifteen strings keep falling back to English, which is the correct rendering for them: example.com and the other input placeholders, the product names, and the verbatim header names List-Id and X-Spam-Status. A translator should not be invited to translate example.com.

Not in this PR

The reporter also flagged the Sieve rule dialog, the keyboard shortcut panel and the "Classic" palette name. Those were not missing translations — the code was rendering English sources without asking for one. That is #248, and it fixes all nine languages at once.

Checks

Typecheck clean, 99 test files / 1000 tests pass, and a coverage pass over every t() call site reports nothing missing from de.ts.

The other eight catalogues have the identical gap and follow, one PR each.
