German translation of the community guidelines - keep personal and contact information private section has a difference in content to the English one

German translation of the community guidelines - keep personal and contact information private section has a difference in content to the English one

Okay, so first: I am German and I use the Scratch website in German.
Just now because I wanted to answer a forum question I visited the community guidelines page in German and I wanted to cite the English to quote it but I realized they are somewhat different in content…


I am talking about the “Be safe: keep personal and contact information private.” section here, that I looked at.

Be safe: keep personal and contact information private.


If you translate the German page:
Don't share personal data.
Stay on the safe side and do not share information that allows to make private (online or offline) contact.
Don't share your real name, your phone number, email or living adress, your place where you live, your school, links to social media-sites, videochats or websites with private chats.

The English page says
:
Be safe: keep personal and contact information private.
For safety reasons, don't give out any information that could be used for private communication, in person or online.
This includes sharing real last names, phone numbers, addresses, hometowns, school names, email addresses, usernames or links to social media sites, video chatting applications, or websites with private chat functionality.

This means the German one tells you not to share any real names, but the English one tells you not to share real last names.
