Re: Dutch translation of the KiCAD 6.X user interface needs attention

 

Hello Dennis-

We would welcome any improvements that you have to the translations.  The
Dutch translations may be modified here:
https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/kicad/master-source/nl/

If you find a specific dialog box that does expand to fit the translations,
please take a screenshot and post a bug report to
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues and we'll fix it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Seth
