  The Dutch language option for WordPress.com needs some serious work. It looks like it’s been translated automatically and has many grammar and word error. Even the ‘sign in’-button (Nu intekenen) is very old-fashion and will not be understood by normal Dutch people that easily…

  I would like to offer my help as a Dutch native speaker and author.

  Yes, the Dutch language is difficult to deal with for an automated system. Because of its lack of rules sometimes it just has to sound right and that’s hard to achieve if there is no Dutch speaking person involved. I hope wordpress will take up your offer.

  As an old ex-Dutch speaker, lost in the twilight zone after 25 years of speaking English, I’d love to see some grammatically correct Dutch. It’s my only hope of keeping in touch.
