OK.
First I'll have another check to polish up.

I'd expect most Dutch users of Octave to prefer English anyway for all 
text strings in Octave. In that sense I'm not surprised that there's no 
Dutch translation for Qt internals.

It may well be that many Flamish users (the variant of Dutch spoken in 
the north of Belgium) have other preferences. So perhaps there's more 
need for a nl_BE.ts (or is it be_NL.ts). nl_NL.ts could serve as a good 
start there.
In fact many constructs I found in the original nl_NL.ts made me think 
of Flamish.

BTW: there's not even a Dutch (or any other) translation for the 
commercial competition. It features en_US only, AFAIK.
