i like "Bibliotheken & Startoptionen".
i wouldn't drop the "Bibliotheken", as this preference window is really
mostly about libraries and only a little bit about "startup" flags (i
think the english version is too terse).
also, i don't have any problems with the length of the string (but i'm
not using it on a 800x600 display)

the "paste replace" is somewhat different from an ordinary "replace"
(e.g. as found in your favourite text editor). that's why i chose a
somewhat non-standard term (in both languages).
i agree that the german translation is sub-optimal and doesn't catch the
oddness of "paste replace", but a simple "Ersetzen" is probably worse
asd it raises different expectations.

mostly +1.
"comment" could probably stay as "Kommentar" (but then it might stand
out as the only non-translated widget)

certainly better than "Radioknopf"

"Feld" is the translation for "graph", not for "array".
"Graph" is german word as well...

these only catch the hardware aspect, but there's more than that under
this menu...
