Additional languages
Languages that can be exported to the files in addition to the target languages.
These languages usually already contain translated texts and can help the translator with the translation.
The German and English columns are usually filled in by the developer when the texts are created. The English text does not have to be perfectly translated. However, if the translator for the target language (e.g. Chinese) understands the source language German and the additional language English, possible ambiguities may be easier to resolve.
Example:
