Did the best I could on Dutch (really these days I am way busy with other things health concerned that I cannot even think straight; I am here, that's it) so I hope Ko picks up the remainder that I honestly have no idea how to translate some words..

Thanks eadwine, I picked up the remainder.
Indeed difficult, as there are no dutch words for some of the things, like persistence.....
Yes, one can make a 'relatively short' description of persistence, but that won't do in these multi-language translations.
[persistence = data kunnen opslaan tijdens live sessies, zodat die na opstarten weer beschikbaar zijn] That's too long.

I decided to not even try to translate such terms in this way.

That's what a lot of the translators did as well.

It might be better indeed to just use the terminology provided and regard and treat it as a name.
Oh is THAT what persistence means!

Thanks Ko!

And thanks Old Giza, hopefully soon I'll have a bit more energy. I saw these and went ARGHHHH hahaha. But they're done now :smile:

Eadwine & Ko - I can fully appreciate your problem. Years ago we had to train local (NZ) technical staff to maintain a communications
system built by Philips. All of the circuit drawings were annotated in Dutch. We had a fluent Dutch speaker in our team but she could not translate many of the technical words into English. Tech' speak is a problem in most languages.

Because they usually have to invent the word/s.
