To: Leon Brocard <leon at astray.com>


Hi Leon,

I've written a nice dutch bookkeeping application, and now there seems
to be interest from abroad. Although the software is in dutch, it is
completely gettext prepared, so it is technically easy to provide
translations. See http://www.eekboek.nl (dutch only...) for an
impression of the application.

There is, however, a bug (or major oversight) in gettext: it *ALWAYS*
considers the english version to be the reference language. It is a
pain for me to maintain dutch as a reference language, so I need a
decent english translation first before I can get other people to work
on their languages. Besides, they also don't speak dutch but they do
speak english.

My question is not whether you can provide the english translation, I
know you're very busy. My question is if you would be so kind to
forward this to London.pm to see if anyone on the list would be
willing to help me with the translation.

A rough translation is available, but needs screening and correcting.
Most important: the terms used in the translation need to match the
english bookkeeping vocabulary, which is completely unknown to me.

So, if anyone has a more than basic knowledge of bookkeeping and a
couple of hours to spend, please drop me a line.

Thanks a lot!

-- Johan
