Hi guys, Thanks for the thorough work on Dutch translations, that will be the most complete translations in Elisa together with French :)
About capitalization we don't have a policy for this, and I have no real opinion on the subject as it is different from one language to the other, and as I said I don't speak Dutch, let alone write it. So it's up to you to decide, you can probably take example on other pieces of software to see what seems to be the general trend for software in Dutch. About "estimating", this is displayed at the initial stage of the scanning of the media collection, when the media scanner is computing the total number of files it will process. The information is then used to display the progression of the scanning as a percentage. In short, the message to give to the user is "I am currently estimating how long it will take me to scan your entire media collection". Shorter, of course ;) If you can agree on these last points before, say, 15h CEST today, the translations will make it to the 0.5.8 release (due tonight). Otherwise they will be in the 0.5.9 release next Monday. Cheers, Olivier Danny Haak wrote: > Hi Olivier, > > Final translation as agreed on by Thomas and me is here.
