Yeah, that is better. I never really work in Dutch on my computer, therefore
I never quite know the common terms.

- Weergavemodus -> Weergave ? (just to make it a bit shorter)


Weergave is ok. Depends on where it is stated, I think Beeld was for the
Beeld menu. If this is the menu then that would be ok I think.

   Actually, '_Beeld' may be more common, not sure.

Ga naar is the best, in my opinion.

OK, I just thought I'd keep the way it was done in the program, but from now
on I'll use sentence capitalisation.

Again, Pictogrammen is  better if that's the most common (/Windows one).

Anyway, mostly cosmetic stuff, very nice work!


I think I'll do xfce-utils too, I just want that average up some more :D
