The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Ralph Ballier <address@concealed>]

Hi,

in my sympa.conf, it says "lang de-DE", which is why large parts of 
Sympa are in German. However, that was not my question.

My colleague says that the welcome message for a new list member is sent 
in German, but the corresponding template is written in English. He is 
specifically asking how he can modify the German welcome message if he 
apparently only has access to the English template.

Regards,
Ralph
