As one of the earlier translators: I agree with most of those as well. Thanks a lot. However, one small remark:

In the above hunk, you said "ahead = weiter" and "behind = zurückgefallen", but now you say "ahead = voraus" and "behind = hinterher". Is it helpful to use two different translations, or shouldn't those rather be chosen identically? The second set sounds somewhat better to me, but the more important question is whether both hunks should use the same translations.

Best Regards,

Christian
