  OK, no problem.

  ctime() always ends the date string with '\n'. That's why I removed ' '
from the German format string.

  I'd expect that output of ctime() is localized (LC_TIME?). If it's not,
I don't think it's a job of e2fsprogs to fix that...

  New patch attached.

Subject: [PATCH] mke2fs: Fix German translation of mke2fs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

When a device mke2fs should work on already contains an ext? filesystem,
mke2fs prints a warning. In German translation the warning doesn't end
with a date string (which is terminated by a newline) and thus the
output comes out mangled like:

mke2fs 1.42.12 (29-Aug-2014)
/dev/disk/by-label/WD20_SL12 hat ein ext3-Dateisystem mit Namen
„WD20_SL12“
        zuletzt auf /WD20_SL12 auf Tue Jan 27 09:01:44 2015
 eingehängtTrotzdem fortfahren? (j,n)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ here

Fix the translation to end the printed string with a newline and avoid
superfluous space at the beginning of the line.
