As discussed in the Dutch Language Pack discussion thread (now closed), I've decided to hire a professional translator to create a new and improved Dutch language pack. This will be an alternative to the current Dutch Language Pack, which IMO has too many quality issues. But let's not get in a debate about that: it's the result of much appreciated volunteer work.
The translator is Ysolde Bentvelsen (Alacer). For one of my sites, she translated "Steve's Primer of Practical Persuasion and Influence" from English to Dutch in 2004.
To save costs, we've decided to translate only the public frontend, not the control and moderator panels. Most Dutch admins probably prefer the original English terminology anyway.
The work will be done in july of this year. The translation is sponsored by my company Applinet and will be made available, free of charge, to all licensed users of vBulletin (you'll be requested to credit the sponsor and translator in your colophon or 'about' page). I'll announce it in this thread. We'll collect feedback in august, and if needed, improvements will be made in september.
So we should have a bright new Dutch Language Pack by mid-september 2006
