For some languages that might indeed be the case, but for Dutch it's 
okay.  It's just that option explanations in --help texts normally 
begin with a lower case letter, as they are not full sentences: 
they do not end in a period either.  There are quite a few apps 
that don't follow this custom, so I won't try to change all those; 
but it would be nice if all Dutch translations could be consistent.

(That the in-nano ^G option explanations do begin with an uppercase 
letter also in Dutch even when those lines are not sentences either, 
I'd like to leave that way, as it somehow looks better.)
