Re: Call for translations
Hi Igor, I have just checked the German translations in the properties you mentioned and they as far as correctness of translation is concerned look ok to me. Anyway translating to German wouldn't really have helped you, as you speak German yourself. ;-)) Apart from that I generally consider the messages a bit too programmer-centric. I dout that an ordinary user is comfortable with a message saing e.g. Date value 'xxx' is not parseable (German: Datumswert 'xxx' kann nicht geparst werden.). At least in Germany no one except programmers knows what parsing is. A better alternative would be Value 'xxx' is not a valid date (German: 'xxx' ist kein gültiger Datumswert). If you agree, I will be glad to help you in improving this.

Re: Call for translations
Hey Igor, It may be a silly detail, but in Dutch, Cancel is Annuleren, not Afbreken which is the translation of Abort. Also, the integer-format-exception should not be een heel getal but een geheel getal. This is the usual way the word integer is rendered in Dutch. Then, a very subtle thing is the incorrect-captcha message. Right now, it says Voer de tekst in zoals weergegeven op het plaatje. which someone may understand as Enter the text just as displayed in the picture which is a bit silly if you take it literally. I think it should be Voer de tekst in die is weergegeven in het plaatje. which literally translates to Enter the text that is displayed in the picture. Regards, Tom.
