I had a quick look yesterday at your web frontend and took a look at the translation for mutt. I found one fairly important spelling error and three places where I did not like the chosen translation (using a translation for a word that is possibly correct when looking only at the word itself, but makes no real sense, is very unusual or just ugly in the context). I submitted a new (IMO significantly improved) translation for mutt. This may have been an exception, but I rather doubt it. At the very least a spellcheck should be done for all translated descriptions. I also don't much like the fact that the translation of the package descriptions for Dutch is being done without any involvement of the existing Dutch translation team (at least, I don't remember seeing any mails about it on the list). I'd very much like to see a more public review process where new/updated translations are sent to the team list with a reply set to the translator or something. My compliments for taking the initiative though. Cheers, FJP
