no problem at all. :)
We would like to present all material in English.
The reason some is in German only is that we sometimes get contracted 
to produce German documents. When we have them there is no reason to not 
publish them of course.

"Durchblicker" can be freely translated as "advanced users".

I believe we are in the process of translating the new version 2 manuals
to English. It is just not finished yet.

Adele was set up in the gnupp project and I believe that we do not have access 
to the source code.

Yes, we will redo a few screenshots - once version 2 of Gpg2win is ready.
Otherwise we would need to redo it again.

Currently I think the developers need to get over the technical problems
with gpg4win-2. The manual will follow after this.
Any help is appreciated once an early version of gpg4win 2 is published.
