Started to update German translation as I do not think some descriptions are correct

Spielzeug (engl. "toys) is used only in singular form in German

Germans love compound words, but "Einschienenbahnbau" is just too long, better match it with "Bäume pflanzen", "Schild aufstellen" and "Straßenbahn bauen", thus type of thing to be built plus verb what to do with it, e.g. "Einscheinenbahn bauen"

Also harmonized a few other things, such as "Frachtverbindungen auf Weltkarte anzeigen"

Thanks! However we handle translations via an external service. You can sign up at https://translator.openttd.org/

Thanks for the quick comment - so I do have to submit all suggested changes again via the translator link? Sorry for asking but this is my first couple of minutes on Github ever.
