Great!  Any help would be very welcome.  There is nobody
working on web content translation into Dutch just yet
(that I know about), but coincidentally I just emailed
Manfred Riem, cc'ed here, who emailed us saying he was
interested in translating ... I asked him if he would
be interested in working on translating a few web pages.

I haven't heard back from Manfred yet (it was only
yesterday I emailed).  If you wanted to start immediately
I would suggest trying the "Welcome Template", which
would be used as the Dutch home page for netbeans.org.

A link to the template, and some other info, is at :

   http://www.netbeans.org/community/contribute/localise.html

There are suggestions for some other pages there also;
translations of any of them, or for that matter any
other web content you think is important, is always
welcome!  

I would suggest subscribing to the [email protected]
alias, and posting notes there about anything you are
working on - to make sure you are synchronised with any
one else working on translations in your language etc.
Send a blank msg to [email protected] to
subscribe.

If you are interested in working on translating the
IDE, check out the translatedfiles project, maybe post
a note to their mailing list, there may be a Dutch
effort already in progress, I don't know (perhaps
Manfred knows more ?).  The translatedfiles project
is over at :

   http://translatedfiles.netbeans.org/

Anyway, your offer is very much appreciated, and any
small contributions you can make would be great!  I
hope to hear from you soon.
