 * German translation is included for the relevant DHL modules on the frontend. 
   Can you send a screenshot link to what is not translated?

 * Hello,
    In WordPress, under “Settings-General-Language of the Website”, you will
   find “German” and “German (Sie)”. If “German” is selected then everything is 
   German in the frontend. However, if “German (Sie) = formal” is selected, wordpress
   will not find a language file in your plugin and will show you everything English.
   Wordpress has 2 language files for German. de_DE for “German” and de_DE_formal
   for “German (Sie) = formal”.
 * From the spelling of your plugin is already translated into German (Sie). The
   translation is only used on “German” because the language file is called de_DE.
   If you simply duplicate that and save it as de_DE_formal, then the correct translation
   is also available for “German (Sie)”.
 * I hope the google translate has translated correctly.
 * Best regards,
    tino

 * You could try duplicating those files yourself and renaming them to “de_DE_formal”,
   but instead of placing them in the plugin directory, create a new folder in your“/
   wp-content” directory called “/languages” and place them there.
 * Let us know if that works.
