Most germans will aks "Wie spät ist es", which roughly translates to "How late is it?"
Nobody ask: "Nenne mir die Uhrzeit"

We do not say "Es ist der Sonntag, der ..." (it is the sunday, the ...)
It is more likely to hear "Today is ..."
Common german sentences to ask for date:
Welcher Tag ist heute?
Welches Datum haben wir heute?
Was ist heute für ein Datum?
Was ist heute für ein Tag?
was haben wir heute für einen Tag?

Commen german sentences to ask for time:
Wie spät ist es?
Wie spät haben wir es?
Welche Uhrzeit ist es?

Uncommon, but might be expected when talking to a robot
Nenne mir die Uhrzeit
Nenne mir das heutige Datum
This is more or less in a commanding tone. So should probably work.

Found some more bugs, after opening the request. I hope the git messages are clear.

Hi there @gumulka, like the similar PR if I merge this, then Mycroft Translate will over-write it.
We'll keep this one open until we have a chance to do the changes to the po file format in Mycroft Translate.

Hi all,

I know these have been intentionally left open until a change could be made to the Pootle translation process. However given we are years in the future and still haven't got that in place, I'm going to close these and consolidate them under a dedicated issue:
MycroftAI/translate#2

It is something we are still talking about, and support for more languages is one of the organisations priorities. So I don't want this to be taken as dismissing the issue. I just think the above issue will be a better place for them and I very much doubt that the Skill is still in a state where the translations here would make sense.

Thanks
