Hi, 

 

The KiCAD 6.0 user interface in Dutch is ready for improvement. 

 

There are many, many issues. 

Dutch uses more characters than English. Quite a few dialogue buttons can’t display the full text, because the horizontal size is too small. 

In a lot of dialogue boxes the word “Sparen….” is used. This means “Collect your money and put it somewhere for later use”. 😊Is should be “Save…” which means “Store the information somewhere, so I can use it later”. 

“Reassign numbers” in the menu is translated to “Geografisch opnieuw annoteren” which means “The plan of this city/area is invalid, go out and measure the city/area to correct this” which is a gruesome task. 

 

And many, many other issues.

 

So, if I can be of any help, please let me know. I am a pending member of the “KiCad Documentation team”.

Met vriendelijke groet / Kind regards / S pozdravem / Mit freundlichen Grüβen,

 

Dennis Kuit, Senior Software Engineer
