Dutch translation wiki main page

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Errr, is it this page that you want to add the link to?
https://help.ubuntu.com/community

Is there some other page that links to all the various translations?
I don't know why there isn't a link to such a page from that main page
but i vaguely remember it being discussed a few years ago (might have
been just a few months given my 'memory') so i think there probably is
a good reason there isn't a link there.

Regards from
Tom :)
