We finally chose the following set on the list:
Basher - Tunnelbauer
Blocker - Blockierer
Bomber - Bomber
Bridger - Brückenbauer
Climber - Kletterer
Digger - Lochgräber
Floater - Schweber
Jumper - Springer
Miner - Bergmann
Slider - Gleiter

I updated de.po accordingly; if you agree with the set could you
kindly submit it to the repository?

Thanks & Greetings
