I've updated the german translation to solve this issue. In Austria (and
all other german-speaking countries) it is common to abbreviate, e.g.

Austrian becomes Österreicherin which is female. For a man it would be
Österreicher - as you can clearly see there is some redundancy between
the two words thus we use the former one for both (male and female) in a
list (however, not in normal sentences).

In fact we also use this `trick` in other topics like occupation. 
I don't know if this is also applicable in other languages?

Unfortunately there exist some countries which have no official word for
their nationality in German. For those countries I added the suffix
`resident` (`Bewohnerin` which is again female). With this solution
countries remain in the order the users would expect - I suppose this is
what we want in general :)

For example `Saint Pierre and Miquelon` becomes `St. Pierre und Miquelon
Bewohnerin`.

I found some inconsistencies in msgid's - they are perhaps not complete
nor correct but I thought it would be far easier for someone to examine
when there is already something like a list.

Botswana - Batswana
Christmas Islander - Christmas Island
Kiribatian - I-Kiribati
Mexican - Mexico 
Northern Mariana Islander - Northern Mariana Islands
Solomon Islander - Solomon Islands
Sao Tomean - Santomean
Slovene - Slovak
Turkmen - Turkmenistani
Uzbek - Uzbekistani
British Virgin Islander- British Virgin Islands
Vanuatuan - ni-Vanuatu

On the left side you can see my suggestion (or simply the denotation
which seems to be used more often). On the right you can see the current
msgid.
