Updated Dutch translation
Floris
I found more errors, too long lines and strange translations in the original dutch translation. The previous diff isn't applied yet. Should I post a new diff file relative to the original file or the new one?
Hi Floris!
First of all, thanks for your work!
I spotted a few formal issues with your patch:
* please make sure to use git format-patch, not just plain diff (see https://wiki.winehq.org/Submitting_Patches ) * you need to add a signed-off-by line to your mail ( something like "Signed-off-by: Julian Rüger jr98@gmx.net" with your own name of course ;) * may seem like a stupid nitpick, but consistency and details are important to the Wine project; we use the imperative form for patch subjects, i.e. "po: Update Dutch translation." instead of "updated"

Since you'll have to resend the first patch anyway, you could merge them, but smaller patches are easier to review and generally preferred. You can send them as a series, with the later patches applied on top of the previous ones and use a tag for your email subject line "[PATCH 1/2] po: Update..." (not the commit message).
It would probably make sense to split the first patch into multiple ones as well, though the rules are less strict for translations.
See the mailing list archives for examples how other devs do it. https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/
Best, Julian
Also, please make sure you only change the actual translations (the msgstrs), not the msgids or comments like you do here:
#: dlls/appwiz.cpl/appwiz.rc:61 msgid "" -"To install a new program from a floppy disk, CD-ROM drive, or your hard " -"drive, click Install." +"To install a new program from a floppy disk, CD-ROM drive, or your hard drive, " +"click Install."
and here:

The only things you *should* change that are not msgstr are "# fuzzy" lines, like this:
#: dlls/kernel32/winerror.mc:3788 -#, fuzzy -#| msgid "RPC call failed.\n" msgid "Call failed.\n" -msgstr "RPC-Aufruf fehlgeschlagen.\n" +msgstr "Aufruf fehlgeschlagen.\n"
Hope that helps!
