Preferences -> Startup: Voreinstellungen->Bibliotheken & Startprozess It is to long, even not the same than in english I would translate "Startoptionen"
i like "Bibliotheken & Startoptionen". i wouldn't drop the "Bibliotheken", as this preference window is really mostly about libraries and only a little bit about "startup" flags (i think the english version is too terse). also, i don't have any problems with the length of the string (but i'm not using it on a 800x600 display)
Edit -> Paste replace: Bearbeiten -> Objekte ersetzen I think "Ersetzen" is enough" although in english objects are not mentioned
the "paste replace" is somewhat different from an ordinary "replace" (e.g. as found in your favourite text editor). that's why i chose a somewhat non-standard term (in both languages). i agree that the german translation is sub-optimal and doesn't catch the oddness of "paste replace", but a simple "Ersetzen" is probably worse asd it raises different expectations.
Find -> find again : "Finde nochmal" better "erneut finden", because we do not want to find "nochmal"

Put -> ... I would take the english names, since they are names of functions and not some action advice: "Object" "message" "number" "symbol" "comment", ...
mostly +1. "comment" could probably stay as "Kommentar" (but then it might stand out as the only non-translated widget)
Also Radioknopf is wrong, since "Radioschalter" but "Radiobutton" is anyway german ( https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Radiobutton )
certainly better than "Radioknopf"
Very bad is "Feld" for array and "arbeitsfläche" for canvas, since array is a data type
"Feld" is the translation for "graph", not for "array". "Graph" is german word as well...
and Arbeitsfläche means Desktop normally

media -> Medien: wrong since Medien in german means "media content" and we switch DSP on/of there tests and settings, so I think its not even media in english, more like "System" or Interfaces
these only catch the hardware aspect, but there's more than that under this menu...
