Yes well, Nederlands is ook een germanische taal, en ook al leren we engels op school: 20% kan het niet 45% niet tot matig en de rest kan het prima... Dat is waarom we nederlands vertalen. Omdat ze engels niet kunnen of omdat ze de taal van hun eigen land liever hebben. (ik niet engels/amerikaans is prima)
In english: Dutch is a germanic language as well, even though we learn englisch on school: 20% can't english 45% not or bad and the others can speak, write and understand it fine. That's why we translate dutch. Because the most people can't english and because they like it in there own language. (me not english/american is fine) :D Maarten -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: "Rugxulo" <rugx...@gmail.com> Verzonden: 24-12-2015 00:50 Aan: "Technical discussion and questions for FreeDOS developers." <freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Onderwerp: Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Language Translations Hi, On Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 6:38 AM, Jerome E.

I assume most non-Latin-alphabet languages have found a way to transliterate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration " Transliteration is the conversion of a text from one script to another. For instance, a Latin transliteration of the Greek phrase "Ελληνική Δημοκρατία", usually translated as 'Hellenic Republic', is "Ellēnikḗ Dēmokratía". " >> Any volunteers? Your idealism and initiative are admirable, but sadly I think it's just not in the cards for us. Perhaps a 1.3 release (in a few months?) could add a few, if anyone desires/demands it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
