Hi Friedel.

Thanks for your comments on my translation.
I must admit that this was my first experience translating (free/open source) 
software, so there were bound to be a few mistakes.
Now, on to your comments:

I don't like to seem to know better either, but in this case, some things 
really HAD to be changed.

About http://pootle.wordforge.org/nl/pootle/pootle.po?translate=1&item=123, you 
are right: "hulp" is better than "help". The thing is that I did most of the 
translating in Sun's XLIFF Translation Editor, so I didn't see the "related" 
items (and I must admit that I didn't pay much attention to them while 
accepting the translations).
Was I supposed to submit the translated file and then wait for someone else to 
accept/reject my translations, by the way?

I don't know what happened to the square brackets. They shouldn't have been 
removed and I sure didn't remove them intentionally. Something must have gone 
wrong somewhere, though. Thanks for pointing that out.
I didn't run all the checks on my translations, though. I'll try and keep that 
in mind for the future. Guess I wass so excited about my own accomplishment 
that I couldn't wait to let you all know. :-S

You are absolutely right about "vrije software" being better than "gratis 
software". My mistake (again).

I think it is customary to use a comma before "enzovoorts" in Dutch, but so it 
is in English. I'll put it in anyway.

>There are some terminology choices that surprise me...
Please let me know what those are. I'm very curious. If even a non-native 
speaker thinks so, I must be one lousy translator!

Oh, one more thing. I didn't translate the terms 'goals' and 'tracks', because 
I'm not sure what is meant by them. Like I said, I'm new to all this software 
localisation and open source and sourceforge, so I'm not familiar with those 
terms yet (poor excuse for a translator, but hey...)
I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me what they mean, or tell me 
where I can find an explanation.

Thanks

Tom
