 * Is anyone able to translate this Treaty's very detailled Nederlands article?
 * I'll be sure to write one in English as well one of these days. T.Jansen 23:16, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I translated the Dutch article into English, note that many spelling errors may still be found in the text and some grammatical constructions may not be appropiate.--T.Jansen 12:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Any translating effort is trying but at least you recognize that the nuance possibly can be improved without any disrespect toward your work. Nothing like a translator that does so with concrete. Thanks.66.74.176.59 (talk) 08:43, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
