Research direction

Open wavedoc/es/language/storage-duration.md and wavedoc/de/language/storage-duration.md at the headings linked in the issue, then compare them with the Korean source section. Replace only the two misleading headings with the specified pointer terms, leave the paragraph and examples unchanged, and run python3 tools/check-doc-translations.py.

Description

bug difficulty: beginner documentation good first issue help wanted localization

Problem

The source section concerns storage lifetime and pointers. Its heading is translated as advice/hints in Spanish (consejos) and German (Hinweise). The following paragraph still explains the lifetime of storage referenced by ptr<T>, so the headings misidentify the topic.

Acceptance criteria

  • Use the programming term for pointers in both headings (punteros in Spanish and Zeiger in German).
  • Keep the lifetime explanation and code examples unchanged; confirm each heading matches its following paragraph.
  • Run python3 tools/check-doc-translations.py.
