Bedankt, Tom! It is wonderful to have another language at 100%.  I don't
usually review translations much, as I don't want to seem to know any
better :-)  (although I have at times fixed some critical errors like
broken XML tags).  But since I actually do understand Dutch a bit and
you ask for review, I'll give some short comments. Perhaps they are
useful to other translators as well

I see at the message for "Documentation & help", that you didn't follow
the suggested terminology of "hulp" but rather "help".  I can't judge if
this is intended or not.

It seems that you used the checks to review your translations, so only a
few more are reported, probably the few remaining false positives.  The
brackets test did however point out one issue: The last item didn't make
use of the square brackets as the source string, and I assume that this
is ok to use in Dutch too?

I see you translated "Free Software" with "gratis software" but the
terminology suggested "vrije software" which I am quite sure is the
correct translation.  This message is displayed on the about page, and
we definitely intend the meaning as "free as in freedom". Perhaps we
should add a comment for the next release of the translatable files.

In the following message, I see there is no comma before "enzovoorts" -
is this customary in Dutch?  I see the English has the same mistake :-)

There are some terminology choices that surprise me, but I don't even
think I should comment about them as I'm not a native speaker :-)

Thanks again to all translators of our software!

Friedel
