i18n(de): complete and ship German

- Translate the remaining 1,868 strings in a neutral infinitive style (no Sie/du), with German compounds, decimal commas and CLDR one/other plurals. - Review the #908 entries: knots are kn everywhere, the avionics codes BRG, CRS and DEST stay English like HDG and SPD, expand/collapse is ausklappen/einklappen, the radio toggle reads EIN/AUS, density SPARSE is DÜNN, the Thermal style is Wärmebild, German quotes in the shot prompt. - Register de: catalog, LOCALES, LOCALE_NAMES (Deutsch), package boundaries, same-as-english (codes, product names, music genres, units). - Tests: picker order and keyboard model with Deutsch, de/de-AT/de_CH normalization, browser de-DE resolves to German. - docs/translations/de.md: style, plurals, units and glossary; TRANSLATORS.md and CURRENT-STATE.md list German.

+# German (`de`)
+
+Catalog: `src/i18n/locales/de.json`. General rules: [TRANSLATORS.md](../TRANSLATORS.md).
+
+Translation source: abiyeenzo (#908).
+
+## Style
+
+- Standard German that reads naturally in Germany, Austria and Switzerland; ß where it belongs (Straße, schließen), no Swiss ss.
+- No direct address: neither «Sie» nor «du». Actions and hints use the neutral infinitive: «Erneut versuchen», «Kamera anklicken zum Aktivieren», «Zuerst eine Aufnahme wählen», «Mikrofonzugriff erlauben und erneut versuchen». "Your" becomes the article or «eigene»: «Eigener RTL-SDR-Empfänger», «Die IP-Adresse ist für diesen Sender sichtbar».
+- Nouns are capitalized, as German requires; otherwise sentence case, not Title Case: "Live Flights" → «Live-Flüge», "Provider Settings" → «Anbieter-Einstellungen». UPPERCASE English stays UPPERCASE: «LIVE-DATEN AUS», «KEINE ENTWARNUNG». In UPPERCASE, ß is written SS: «SCHLIESSEN», «STRASSENEBENE».
+- Compounds are written as one word or with a hyphen next to a name, code or English term: «Datenebene», «Wetterkacheln», «TomTom-Schlüssel», «AIS-Schiffe», «Street-View-Fallback». Do not split them with spaces.
+- Short labels, chips and HUD readouts stay short. German runs about a third longer than English, so prefer a short word or a standard abbreviation with a period over a wrapped line: REICHW., GESCHW., NIEDERSCHL., SONST., NACHR., VERST., VGL., KAL.
+- The avionics codes HDG, BRG, CRS, DEST, SPD, ALT, GS, TRK, V/S, FOV and SQUAWK stay in English, as in the cockpit. Words used in a sentence are translated: heading → «Kurs», bearing → «Peilung», range → «Reichweite».
+- A dash between clauses is a spaced en dash « – »; a colon is fine where it explains: «Feed ausgefallen – langsame Wiederholung», «SIMULIERT: Verkehrsdienst nicht erreichbar». Quotes are „…“.
+- Keyboard keys are named as on German keyboards where they differ: Leertaste, Rücktaste, Umschalt; Esc, Enter, Tab and letter keys stay.
+- Decimal comma in fixed text: «M4,4», «28,2710° N». Thousands separator is a period: «1.000 km». Formatted numbers come from `Intl` and are already German.
+- Units: km, m, km/h, m/s, kn (knots, also in the cockpit), ft (feet), hPa, MW, h, min, s, T (days, in short readouts); in UPPERCASE text KM, KM/H, KN, FT, MIN. A space between number and unit: «{value} m», «{count} min», «50 %». `°` sticks to the number.
+- "ago" goes before the time: «vor {count} min», «vor {value}». When a placeholder already holds a localized "ago" text (`{age}` in `STALE · cached {age}`, `{ago}`), do not add «vor» again.
+- Compass points use O for Ost: N, NNO, NO, ONO, O, OSO, SO, SSO, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW; hemisphere letters N, S, O, W.
+- Routing: direction words are lowercase adverbs (links, leicht rechts, scharf links, geradeaus), so a sentence never starts with one: «Auf {road} {direction} abbiegen», «Dann {direction} abbiegen», «Weiter {direction}». Roundabout exits are ordinals with a period: «die {exit} Ausfahrt» → «die 2. Ausfahrt».
+
+## Plurals
+
+A `tn()` entry needs two forms. `Intl.PluralRules('de')` picks:
+
+| Form    | Counts                      | Example   |
+| ------- | --------------------------- | --------- |
+| `one`   | 1                           | 1 Kamera  |
+| `other` | everything else: 0, 2, 1,5… | 3 Kameras |
+
+Keep the verb in agreement: «{count} Station meldet» / «{count} Stationen melden». Abbreviated units and codes do not change: «{count} NACHR.», «{count} EMPFANGEN».
