GpgOL tooltip for level 3 needs update
Testing, NormalPublic

Description

For level 3 security the tooltip shown is:

The first paragraph (which is the one needs an update) in EN:

The senders identity was certified by several trusted people.

This ignores that the level 3 is reached by one signature of a fully trusted certificate, too. Which is the more common occurrence nowadays.

I propose to change the text to:

The senders identity was certified by at least one fully trusted or several marginally trusted people.

Additional info (I don't think we need to mention it in the tooltip): if the fully trusted one was certified by an ultimately trusted key (one hop only), that would be level 4

I was told to only fix this in the German translation, as otherwise all other translations would have to be updated.
I'll push the translations shortly.

I'm going with:

Die Identität des Absenders wurde mit hinreichender Sicherheit durch Dritte bestätigt.

to keep it short and understandable.
