Ah, yes. (/me learns to read C a little better again)
Sorry bout that. Analysis was a little to quick...

Looking at this again I got a little brainstorm and I think _this_ should be
the real cause of the problem :-)

Looking at the template, I noticed there are only 43 Choices-nl, but the
Indices-nl runs from 1 to 46!
Which probably means there is an easy to fix little error in the sorting script
that also adds an entry in Indices-nl for escaped comma's.

Which also means the translations for nl and no probably don't need to be
changed at all...
