Contribution
This is my third contribution to the JabRef project and after some communication back and forward with my LM , we decided that we should ask the other Dutch translators for advice. There are quite a few words that come back repeatedly in this project, but the translations I first decided on don't seem to fit in everywhere. So I kept going back and forward, looking at other options, but none of them felt right. Luckily our team member
came with advice pretty quickly, and so far I think this issue is now solved. The project isn't completely translated yet, so it's possible that I might bump into a questionable translation later on. If this is the case, I will discuss it again, and change this. Although it costs a lot of time going back and forward in a project, I still find it very informative. I also keep making notes of my translations if I have my doubts what word fits best so that I can discuss this if I can't solve the issue myself. Thanks again to
and also to
for being a great team member. Sometimes it's very refreshing if someone "new to the project" has a quick look at the issue to find the right translation.
