The German translation is right but sounds a bit demanding in my opinion.

I think "Europäisch kaufen" sounds nicer and still matches the translation and meaning.

The German translation is right but sounds a bit demanding in my opinion.

It is supposed to be imperative, no? A call to action? Does your translation still convey that?


I'm actually starting to think that Buy European needs a wiki or something, so that people can contribute and it stays available instead of disappearing behind the "Hot" sorting algorithm. Then translations like yours could be recorded.

I would also find a wiki pretty usefull, could be potential for a new thread. My translation doesn't call to action. Your right we should stay with "Kauft europäisch".
