What's going wrong
A site owner translating into German reported that the tool is not compatible with the formal German Sie form, which is the standard address for business websites in German-speaking markets. The review is short and gives no detail on which screens or strings fail. Still, it points to a gap in how the tool handles grammatical forms of address across languages. Site owners running German business sites, and agencies that localize for them, would be affected. A checker or workflow that tracks formal and informal forms per language and flags mismatches before publishing would address the problem.
