Thanks. A few remarks, though. Please do (once on each computer you
use to prepare patches using git):

$ git config --global user.name "Firstname Lastname"
$ git config --global user.email "your_email at youremail.com"

So that your patches are properly attributed when imported.

I also have a few remarks on the translations:

No, DE:"aktuel" is EN:"current". EN:actual is DE:tatsächlich or
DE:wirklich or DE:eigentlich.

I changed that to:

        // I'm moving through a tree, but its elements have no GetNextSibling,
        // so I have to remember where each child is in relation to its parent.
        // That is the path from the root node to m_xCurrentObject

Which "flows" better to my ear, and is a closer translation of the
German anyway.

it's = short for "it is" (DE:es ist)
its = pronoun (DE:sein(e))

Note: Here you could have used EN:actual, a good translation for
"eigentlich": I'm actually moving through a tree. As a *very* minor
stylistic point I have decided to just drop it, but wouldn't have
bothered removing it if the translation of the whole sentence was
idiomatic in the first place.

So *that* we can exclude (...)

I've now idea where you got the "expected" from, that's not in the
German.

More generally, you have destroyed the meaning of the German (which
was indeed not 100% well). Changed to:

        // This can be used to exclude certain elements; elements for which
        // this function returns sal_True will be simply skipped.
        // If this element is returned from Next(), then one can get
        // here get a little more information on the element.
        // That's why this method is not const.

Assuming that the German meant:

       // Damit kann man bestimmte Elemente ausschliessen, die werden dann einfach
       // übergangen wenn hier sal_True zurückkommt.
       // Wird dieses Element von Next zurückgeliefert, dan kann man sich hier also auch
       // gleich ein paar zusätzliche Angaben zu dem Element holen (deswegen ist die Methode auch nicht const)
