Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

The accounting task has identation issue.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We use dedent function here to align the identation,

App/src/languages/de.ts

Lines 2537 to 2553 in a7c2526

	dedent(`
	Verbinde ${integrationName === CONST.ONBOARDING_ACCOUNTING_MAPPING.other ? 'Ihr' : 'bis'} ${integrationName} für die automatische Kategorisierung und Synchronisierung von Ausgaben, damit der Monatsabschluss zum Kinderspiel wird.
	1. Klicke auf *Workspaces*.
	2. Wähle deinen Workspace aus.
	3. Klicke auf *Accounting*.
	4. Suche nach ${integrationName}.
	5. Klicke auf *Connect*.
	${
	integrationName && CONST.connectionsVideoPaths[integrationName]
	? dedent(`[Zur Buchhaltung](${workspaceAccountingLink}).
	`)
	: `[Zur Buchhaltung](${workspaceAccountingLink}).`
	}`),
	},

but the workspaceAccountingLink text is aligned to the leftmost, causing the issue.

                        Verbinde ${integrationName === CONST.ONBOARDING_ACCOUNTING_MAPPING.other ? 'Ihr' : 'bis'} ${integrationName} für die automatische Kategorisierung und Synchronisierung von Ausgaben, damit der Monatsabschluss zum Kinderspiel wird.

                        1. Klicke auf *Workspaces*.
                        2. Wähle deinen Workspace aus.
                        3. Klicke auf *Accounting*.
                        4. Suche nach ${integrationName}.
                        5. Klicke auf *Connect*.

`[Zur Buchhaltung](${workspaceAccountingLink}).`),

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We need to align the workspaceAccountingLink text with the previous text.

dedent(`
    Verbinde ${integrationName === CONST.ONBOARDING_ACCOUNTING_MAPPING.other ? 'Ihr' : 'bis'} ${integrationName} für die automatische Kategorisierung und Synchronisierung von Ausgaben, damit der Monatsabschluss zum Kinderspiel wird.

    1. Klicke auf *Workspaces*.
    2. Wähle deinen Workspace aus.
    3. Klicke auf *Accounting*.
    4. Suche nach ${integrationName}.
    5. Klicke auf *Connect*.

    ${
        integrationName && CONST.connectionsVideoPaths[integrationName]
            ? dedent(`[Zur Buchhaltung](${workspaceAccountingLink}).

            ![Mit ${integrationName} verbinden](${CONST.CLOUDFRONT_URL}/${CONST.connectionsVideoPaths[integrationName]})`)
            : `[Zur Buchhaltung](${workspaceAccountingLink}).`
    }`),

Do this for other locales too that has the same issue.

@bernhardoj's proposal looks correct. Indentation of workspaceAccountingLink line needs to be corrected.
