A solution to avoid confusion with keywords would be to add in brackets the original English word for these vital technical terms. Helpful would be then the body of the text in German to those native German language speakers who do not understand the instructions etc in English which I thought is the purpose of the task.

again, what's wrong with Radiobutton? https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiobutton
IMHO, trying to "translate" well understood technical terms (Radiobutton, Slider, VU-Meter, Messagebox, Array, Canvas etc.) has a high chance of causing confusion instead of being helpful.
translating doesn't mean getting rid of every single trace of the original language.
anyway, I think we all seem to agree that the current German translation is more confusing than helpful :-)

PS: if we want to be *really* German I would opt for "Mehrfachoptionsfeld" :-p

none of them ring with me. both "knopf" and "schalter" evoke quite specific images in my head, none of which match with what you actually get (and “radiobutton" does neither)
Selektor?
I like

It collides with the English 'selector' which has a particular meaning in Pd.
