Where are my translations?

[Hannie]

Dear Hjorth,
Thank you for your suggestion. What a coincidence. Today I thought of 
importing my translations into Launchpad, since uploading them to Gnome-nl 
is probably not enough. As soon as I have found out what is the right way of 
getting a translation published I will let you know through this mailing 
list.
