Affinity Designer 2.0.0 (Windows) shows German texts in the form constructor's status bar (image attached) that can impossibly be understood without re-translating them to English and having a good laugh:

  1. The text 'Zurückgeben=Form erstellen' surely should stand for 'Return=Create form', but what it actually means is 'Give back=Create form' (I might borrow some money from somebody who hopes that I return it someday). Correct German would be 'Eingabetaste=Form erstellen' (which contains the official name of the 'Return' key), or 'Eingabe=Form erstellen' (which omits the word for 'key', but is still as understandable as the English original, which also omits the word 'key').
  2. The German text 'Escape=Ausgewählte Flächen erneut auswählen' means 'Escape=Select selected areas again', which confuses me (why would I want to reselect already selected areas?). Even re-translating to English is no help here, but hitting 'Escape' helps: What you apparently mean is 'Escape=Reselect areas', which could be translated as 'Escape=Flächen neu auswählen' or just 'Escape=Neu auswählen' (which stands for 'Newly select', omitting the word 'areas').
