As someone who speaks both languages fluently, it doesn't bother me at all. The iconography could use some tweaking, but this false sense of being offended is ridiculous.

what I am saying is that once your app is using multiple languages, is available in multiple geographies this "just use labels" stuff goes out of the window.

Cancel becomes what, "Zurücksetzen"? "Abbrechen"? All longer strings, good luck with your tiny button.

Not even mentioning Mandarin or Japanese yet.

Oder aber das ist einfach Enterprise-Software Problematik und die Consumer-App Afferl spielen weiter mit ihren Zehen.

Who's offended? We're talking about good design.
