This component adds an additional profile subpage named About showing some basic member information like gender, age, etc. retrieved from the member's account data.
The accessibility of the About page depends on the mode which was chosen on the account settings page. The three available options are public (visible for everyone), friends only, or nobody (except of the account owner and administrators).
Note: About User can NOT be used in parallel with the Custom User Fields component. Whenever Custom User Fields gets enabled, About User will be disabled automatically.

@Karl
In opposite to Ossn CORE components which are reliably translated to English, French and German, some 3rd party components may not include all three language files. Feel free to add your own ossn.de.php to the locale directory of this component.
@Sergio
this component was never meant to include an editing option - the purpose was to display some (additional) member data only.
It works, but as the translation for the german language is still not 100% complete, it shows you the word "age" instaed of the German word "Alter", if you are using the German language.
The user can not customize the information in the following form. Have you found a solution?
@Chris this component version 3.1 works on ossn version 4.1
Sorry, I am using version 4.x If you don't mind updating this component to the latest version. 4.x
@Chris download v3.1
I run the latest Ossn and its working.
Please update this component to the latest version.
And it needs a text box for custom info from user
Hace falta algunos datos mas por agregar, yo apoyo con la traducción en español.
