Offering help in Dutch translation
Hi,
I am a new user, and I'm impressed by the quality of MuseScore. Since My mother tongue is Dutch, I also love he MuseScore policy of localizing not only the software, but also the site and the documentation. I'm a software developer myself and an advocate of the open software idea. Therefore, I'm offering to collaborate on the Dutch localization.
Since I'm still new to the software (though I'm an experienced user of Sibelius), I will be using the documentation a lot in the first period, so I think my help is currently most valuable in optimizing the Dutch documentation and website.
Please let me know if and how I can help...
Regards,
Wim

Hey Wim, I added translator permissions to your account so now you can translate all the content on musescore.org. You will see a translate block at the right. Check out "Website Content" as it will give you an indication what the status is of the Dutch translation and what still needs to be done.
Please come back to me if you have more questions or remarks. I'm glad you are on board since indeed, the Dutch translation needs some love.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the quick reply! I already corrected a few typos on the already translated pages and I will be taking up 'real' translation work soon.
Best regards,
Wim
As Wim, my mother tongue is Dutch and I'd like to add e.g. a music dedicated/relevant English-Dutch vocab list to the Dutch manual. Quite some music related vocab that's not standard known by non-native English speakers. I think such a quick vocab translation list would be very useful. Do I need a special access to do that?

Dear Sven,
Sorry for this late answer. I was out for holidays and just managed to get through my emails.
I have granted your musescore.org account permissions to translate to Dutch. You can read more about the translation instructions on http://musescore.org/en/administer-guidelines/translation-instructions
Concerning your question: I assume you are talking about making a glossary, right? We started making one at http://musescore.org/en/handbook/glossary some time ago but I don't know what the state is of this glossary. Explain to me what you exactly want to do.
Thanks and welcome on board!
