Translation in retina.po does not work

Hi!
I have translated the retina.po file to german – at least I tried to do so. I did this first manually using vim as a text editor, then using POedit. Neither of them worked. Some text elements do translate properly, others do not. As examples, the strings “Monthly Archives:” and “You are browsing the site archives by month.” do not translate at all while “Edit” and “Leave a Comment” work properly.

I have no clue why this happens but I have to admit I am completely new to wordpress. See the translated file below.

Thanks,
Aileron
