In Alemannisch, Plattdüütsch and Seeltersk, "(Auswahlhilfe)" does the job,
while the text in Ripoarisch is "(Hölp mem Ußsöhke)", so it appears that
some members of the German language continuum see it differently.

you'll notice that the link to the username
policy is very long.
This message, which you can view at
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Createacct-helpusername was
customized locally by a German admin.
I'd recommend that this message be shortened so that it doesn't overflow
in
to the next line like that. The message is
designed to be on the right
hand
side of the label "Benutzername", and
is meant to not be an entire
sentence
like that. Even something as short as
"Help" could work I think.
If anyone has recommendations for the easiest way to correct this, I'd
appreciate your advice very much.
Steven, I'd recommend not to change that message because it is correct
and you can understand easily what it means. German phrases are
usually longer than their English equivalent, so that's all right (the
German translation of an article from Scientific American can be two
pages longer than the English version).
Regards,
Jürgen.
