In many packages the Frisian language as spoken in the Dutch province of
Friesland is often called West-Frisian or Western Frisian. This causes
confusion: there is a group of dialects in the province of North-Holland
-- which has got an area that's called West-Friesland -- under the name
West-Frisian and most Frisians call their language Frisian (or 'Frysk'
and 'Fries' in Frisian and Dutch).

The Dutch translation should most certainly use 'Fries' instead of
'West-Fries' since the current translation makes the language hard to
find in the 'Language Settings' dialogue -- virtually no one uses the
name 'West-Fries'.

In English I understand that 'Western Frisian' is used in order to
prevent confusion with the German dialect 'Ost Fries'. But in Dutch I
would recommend to use just plain 'Fries'.
