  Hello Automatic-Team!

  I’m using a German Version of your WordPress blog.

  In German it is usual to address people with “Sie” instead of with “du”, which both means you. All the times when you do not know a person, one will say “Sie”. Talking or writing to them with “du” is an insult, because it degrades the person.

  Thus, I addressed the people with “Sie” inviting them to subscribe to my blog. Unfortunately, the place where interested people can enter their name reads: “Gib deine E-Mail-Adresse ein.”

  My question is, can this saying be changed into “Geben Sie hier bitte Ihre E-Mail-Adresse ein.” or “Hier bitte E-Mail-Adresse eintragen.” That would make more sense.

  As I understood it so far, I cannot change that setting by myself.

  Looking forward to your answer!

  Best regards from Germany

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
