   Potentially awkward situation in the Dutch translation
   ([1]https://hostedweblate.org/translate/gnucash/gnucash/nl/?checksum=de
   ecda9491124d4f) where the first line mentions the current (single)
   translator followed by the translators that have preceeded.

   I would not want to claim the 1st position.

   No, ways easier: the About->Credits->Translation content is stored in
   msgid "translator-credits".
   See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Translation#Adjust_special_messages
   and as example
   https://hosted.weblate.org/browse/gnucash/gnucash/de/?q=translator-cred
   it&sort_by=priority%2C-position&checksum=
   Annual task for translators: update the last year of your activity.
   Ideally this should be done before the first release in a new year.

   We need a process to collect and maintain the list. Frank Ellenberger,
   any ideas in that respect?
   Weblate stores all contributors in the file header as comment. The list
   should appear in reverse order (recent first) in msgid
   "translator-credits". For privacy reasons without individual email
   addresses, but another contact address.
   I don't know if we really want all translators of all languages in the
   AUTHORS file.
