Thank you for your answer, Timo. I had been told that the translations were committed at gnome-nl; I didn't check if that was really the case. I have forwarded this email to gnome-nl hoping they will be committed soon. I have also checked the gedit documentation on Launchpad. It said : translated 100 %. But I still found a great deal of suggestions which I have reviewed and accepted or rejected. I'm still not sure if it is necessary to update the translation on Launchpad as well because I do not know who publishes the documentation translations and where he or she looks for them. Hannie
