What do you me expect me to do now for the nl_NL.ts file?

Well, not as much work as translating all these expressions; the source
scan is done by the qt tool "lupdate".

For the nl_NL.ts file: Please push your translated file and I will
update it with the Qscintilla strings (since there is no dutch
translation file for Qscintilla).

OK.
First I'll have another check to polish up.

   After that, it would be nice if you
could translate the new text strings (IMHO the context menu is more
important than the style descriptions).
Then, the editor's context menu (and the descriptions of the editor
styles in the settings dialog) should show up in dutch.

There is still no solution for the english texts on the dialog buttons.

I'd expect most Dutch users of Octave to prefer English anyway for all
text strings in Octave. In that sense I'm not surprised that there's no
Dutch translation for Qt internals.

It may well be that many Flamish users (the variant of Dutch spoken in
the north of Belgium) have other preferences. So perhaps there's more
need for a nl_BE.ts (or is it be_NL.ts). nl_NL.ts could serve as a good
start there.
In fact many constructs I found in the original nl_NL.ts made me think
of Flamish.

BTW: there's not even a Dutch (or any other) translation for the
commercial competition. It features en_US only, AFAIK.


Do you think it is then worthwhile to translate the descriptions of the
editor's styles (108 expressions) or just the editor's context menu?

In principle, if we translate, we'd better translate all terms IMO.
Even the "Cancel" buttons, the "Close tab" pop-ups in the editor, and also the window menu when clicking the (Octave) leftmost icon in the top menu bar - if at all possible.

As far as the styles go, you refer the C++/Perl/Diff/<whatnot> stuff? We'll, there's a lot of common terms there. Shouldn't be a problem.

Can you supply an extended nl_NL.ts file? or point me to the file(s) where I'd need to enter translations?

Philip
