Error in German voice directions
- Done

The German voice directions have a grammatical error when giving distances in meters. They say "... in 700 Meter". Instead it should be "... in 700 Metern" (it currently uses singular for meter instead of the correct plural).

Hi Zoe, I checked the JSON translation file and I don't think it'll fit every grammatical scenario. If you want to tell somebody about a point in a certain distance ("turn left in 700 meters") you use "in 700 Metern links abbiegen". However, if you don't refer to a certain point but to the distance itself ("follow the road for 700 meters") it's "folgen sie der Straße für 700 Meter". I'm not sure that the translation file covers both cases. I'm afraid that with the change, it'll be "folgen sie der Straße für 700 Metern" which is incorrect. Is there a way to cater to both scenarios? German grammar is not for the faint of the heart, sorry about that. 😆
