[PD] German translation of Pd

[Jurgen Frenz]

A solution to avoid confusion with keywords would be to add in brackets 
the original English word for these vital technical terms. Helpful would 
be then the body of the text in German to those native German language 
speakers who do not understand the instructions etc in English which I 
thought is the purpose of the task.
