Dutch (NL-nl) translation mistake in GUI

Post by MircoBabin »

Using the Dutch (Nl-nl) locale.
1) Choose Bestand / Appliance exporteren (File / Export appliance)
2) In the last screen the button "Afmaken" is shown. (In English this is probably the "Finish" or "Complete" button)

But the Dutch verb "Afmaken" has several meanings. Including "doden" what is Dutch for "to kill".
See h t t p s : / / w w w.vandale.nl/gratis-woordenboek/nederlands/betekenis/afmaken

A better Dutch verb to use is "Voltooien". This Dutch verb does not have any negative meaning.

I am a native Dutch speaker.

Kind Regards,

These are user discussion forums. I think your suggestion would be better made in the BugTracker, which is the dev's source of user input. See https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker. This is a separate system from the forums, so you need to sign into it separately using your Oracle SSO.
