   I just finished translating Pritlog into Dutch. That was quite an adventure!
   I went through the index.php, replacing every English word and phrase that are part of the User Interface with its Dutch equivalent. I broke the code a couple of times, but it now looks okay. Everything seems to be running smoothly. I could not check all error-messages, as I didn't know how to reproduce some errors.

   I can only hope some critical Dutch-speaking people will have a good look at this first attempt.
   Anyway, the Dutch Pritlog Testsite is here: http://verbertus.000hosted.com/blog-NL/index.php?option=mainPage

   Thats great Bert. So how much time did it take to create this translation?

   I didn't count the hours...
   My approach was trial and error style. I wasted a lot of time/work this way, regularly crashing Pritlog, until I realized I needed incremental back-ups..

   Did you use a tool for incremental backups?

   No, I had no tool for backups. What I did was probably primitive: after each chunk/paragraph of code translated without destroying the code, I downloaded/backed up that snapshot to my computer's hard disk.

   Usually, I create new version numbers everytime, I reach a milestone. I am basically a mainframe programmer and there created a tool to automatically do this. There should be some good ones available to be used on a PC.
