I changed that to "Paket hochladen", because header.php uses "Submit"
too (for the button that leads to the package upload).

Maybe "Abschicken" is the best translation here, as it does not sound
that wrong with packages. The problem is, if you are new to AUR,
the meaning of a link titled "Abschicken" in the header is not obvious.

In my opinion there should be an english "translation", which would
enable us to include the template name in $_t's keys.
(like $_["header: submit"] vs. $_["pkg_comment_form: submit"])

This would also make life for translators easier, as they would have
additional information about where a string is used.

Btw. has someone checked for duplicate entries in the .po files?
When I read de.po, I had the impression of about 40% being redundant.
Are obsolete entries removed automatically?
