1180247 - Translation of "Install for free" for German/de is "Installieren für kostenlos" and should be "Kostenlos installieren"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1180839

#You'll see a button saying "Installieren für kostenlos", which isn't a good translation of "Installing for free".

Since there are two strings ("Installing for {price}" and "free"), it is difficult to translate it to German.

Hi Wil, CCing you for help on this.

Would it be possible to split the string „Install for {price}“ in two strings, one for paid apps and one for free apps? Right now it doesn’t work both ways for German (not sure if other locales are affected as well). If it’s not possible, we have to reword the string in a way that makes sense for both possibilities.

Thanks.

Marking as duplicate of bug 1180839 since that bug is more generic and outlines a potential fix.
