I added myself to the list, but am not as tweetaalig as I used to be, so
am afraid my help could be of limited value...

I have tried my hand at some translations in the pass week or 2 and it's
surprisingly fun and addictive and seeing the karma points adding up
gives a nice sense of achievement and competitiveness too.

Although I seem to be getting back into the lingo my grammar and
spelling might need some editing!

Cool idea, I am sure it will help me. So far I have been 'cheating' by
using babelfish's English to Dutch translation to give me clues when I
am not sure... ;)

Thanks for taking the reigns on this one Jonathan. Let's be sure to get
Breezy 100% Afrikaans translated before any other language!
