# Usable but many errors

 * This translation is reasonably well done, but has many errors. Sometimes texts
   are not properly translated, sometimes they are not properly localized, there
   are MANY “spacing” errors and some “D/T” errors. Also translations are not always
   consistent.
 * BUT, I know translating software is much work, and this translation is very usable
   to build on. So thanks!
 * =====================
 * BTW: a note to all non-professional Dutch translators, editors and writers: in
   Dutch we NEVER use spaces within “words”. So it’s “bankrekening” instead of ”
   bank rekening”, and “betaalgegevens” instead of “betaal gegevens”. And in case
   of combined Dutch-English words, we use a dash. So “winkelwagen-button” instead
   of “winkelwagen button” or “winkelwagenbutton”.

 * Thanks for you feedback, if you want to help us improve the translations you 
   are welcome to help us. We keep track of the translations in our own GlotPress
   installation:
 * [http://glotpress.pronamic.nl/projects/woocommerce](http://glotpress.pronamic.nl/projects/woocommerce)
 * We can create an GlotPress account for you so you can improve the translations
   yourself. If you want to help just mail us on [support@pronamic.nl](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/usable-but-many-errors/support@pronamic.nl?output_format=md).
 * Hopefully we can bump up the 3 star rating to a 5 star rating :).

 * Hi Remco,
 * I already have done many edits in the .po file, so I’m really not so keen on 
   doing it all again by hand on that website 🙂
 * I can send you my edition when I’m done, if you like (still working on it).

 * I think it is quite difficult to merge your changes into GlotPress. We also have
   other users work on the translations. We can’t just overwrite all those translations
   with yours.

 * Hm, then I’ll just post a link to the file when it’s done. People can download
   and see for themeselves if they want to use it.

 * I’m just wondering what advantage you see in creating a separate plugin for the
   Dutch translation? Why not all focus on the po-files that ship with WooCommerce
   out of the box, as argosmedia did? Translations can be updated via GitHub.

 * We also translate other WooCommerce addon plugins in the “WooCommerce (nl)” plugin:
 * WooCommerce
    WooCommerce EU VAT Number WooCommerce Subscribe to Newsletter WooCommerce
   Gateway Fees WooCommerce – Gravity Forms Product Add-Ons WooCommerce Print Invoices&
   Delivery Notes etc.
 * It’s also handy that we can launch updates and don’t have to wait for new WooCommerce
   releases.

 * [@dragon1600](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dragon1600/) These text are
   probably part of your theme and not of the WooCommerce plugin. For further support
   you can use our support forum on the following page: [http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-nl](http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-nl).

 * Hoi Argosmedia,
 * Wat fijn, jouw reactie hier.
 * Kun jij me eenvoudig uitleggen hoe ik sommige vertalingen nog naar mijn eigen
   hand kan zetten?
 * Moet ik echt die massa’s woorden/letters door die in de .po en .mo files zitten?
   Of mis ik een eenvoudige manier?
    Hoor graag van je! maaike

 * It would be nice if you add an informal dutch translation. If you do I rate this
   plugin with 5 stars 😉
