In English, the keywords in the admin sidebar are connected with an &. In German, however, we have `u.`, `&`, and `and`. I already pointed out in the summer that space in the sidebar is limited anyway, and therefore I cannot understand why `and` is used instead of the &-sign. Unfortunately, I can no longer find the comments on Crowdin because the spelling in English has been changed in the meantime. The [topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/problems-with-the-limited-number-of-characters-displayed-in-the-sidebar/318887?u=moin) I created back then at the request of @mcwumbly still exists. Back then, `and` was changed to `u.` (and authentication abbreviated). However, this was not continued with further keywords.

I just saw that @gerhard suggested “Server & Protokolle” and now, after proofreading, the new version will likely be “Server und Protokolle”. Was it tested that this version is not too long? It seems to fit just barely.  
Nevertheless, I don’t quite understand why we can’t use the &-sign like in the English original, or at least consistently stick to `u.` when there are already space problems.
