 We used to present a variant of the main German stemmer, termed "german2" which
-was the same as the German stemmer but adjusted the first step to improve
-handling of input text where the German letters <B><I>ä</I></B>,
+was the same as the German stemmer except with the first step adjusted to

 Snowball 2.3.0 added these adjustments to the main German stemmer, so there
-is no longer a "german2" variant - just used the "german" stemmer.
+is no longer a "german2" variant - just use the "german" stemmer.
