#51834: I18N - Translations of Twenty-Twentyone are not shown & adjustments

---------------------------+-----------------------------
 **1) No automatic delivery of translation files**

 I just installed manually - by downloading the .mo/.po-files from the
 translate.w.org repository - the german translations for formal and
 informal german.
 They are currently not delivered automatically to a fresh installed test
 enviroment with WordPress 5.6 RC1.
 The german translations of the Twenty Twenty-One theme are already over
 90%.

 @ocean90 Is the automatic delivery meant to happen later or is this an
 issue with the servers or Glotpress at the moment?

 ''(I ask because I also have a 5.5 network installation (WP multisite)
 running for testing issues with various themes and within that the
 description text of the themes are also not shown in german, even thought
 all the themes and the description texts are 100% translated.)
 ''

 **2) Two strings of the translation files differ from the shown ones**

 They are under Colors & Dark Mode and below the checkmark box. They are
 not shown as translated and they differ with the strings on the code on
 github abit.

 We have the string
 "Respect visitor’s device dark mode settings.<br>Dark mode is a
 device setting. If a visitor to your site requests it, your site will be
 shown with a dark background and light text.<br><br>Dark Mode can also be
 turned on and off with a button that you can find in the bottom right
 corner of the page."
 but it links to:
 [https://github.com/WordPress/twentytwentyone/blob/trunk/classes/class-
 twenty-twenty-one-dark-mode.php#L169] and there it is shorter:
 "Dark Mode is a device setting. If a visitor to your site requests it,
 your site will be shown with a dark background and light text. <a
 href="%s">Learn more about Dark Mode."

 I can add a screenshot.


 **3) String improvements to have shorter & more appropriate translation
 terms**

 a) Can the string "**Dark Mode Support**" be changed to "**Enable Dark
 Mode**"?

 That's a more common wording beneath a checkmark box in most of the themes
 I've contributed to.
 Another point is that a translation in german is a quite uncommon veeery
 long word like:

 "Dark-Mode-Unterstützung" witch sounds really strange.
 Or in dutch it's quite long too: "Donkere modus ondersteuning"


 b) Can the string for the color "**Orange**" be changed to "**Beige**"?

 I've seen that the color comes from the orange color range, but it does
 not really look "Orange", especially on a white background like it is used
 in the About page. Okay, on the pastel green background it looks more
 orange-like but on all the others ...

 I would find it more accurate to name it "Beige" because it looks so on
 most screens and backgrounds, except the default sagegreen one. I would
 expect a color like #ffa500 for orange or in the context of pastel orange
 #ffb347.

 Will add screenshots (later) too.
