Translators: Ready, steady, GO!

[PK]

Dutch translation for slideshow done! One remark though: I'm not so happy
with a source sentence in string 49:
"In the meantime, thanks for taking the time to install Xubuntu with us."

The "with us" sounds a bit yucky. I'd prefer:
"In the meantime, thanks for taking the time to install Xubuntu."

What do you think?

Regards, Pjotr.

>  TRANSLATING THE XUBUNTU DOCUMENTATION AND INSTALLER SLIDESHOW

>  To get started with translating the Xubuntu documentation, you will need
> to have a registered Launchpad account. After you have set that up, go to

>  Before you do translations, you will need to remember some guidelines:
>     - If you are unsure about a translation, you can either suggest a
> translation or leave it untranslated
>     - GUI labels and application names should always be actual labels, not
> free translations
>     - Always follow the Ubuntu Translators instructions [1]
>     - There might be some guidelines and commonly used terms in your
> language team, you should adhere to them
>
>  You are ready to start translating!
>
>  DEADLINES AND CUT-OFFS
>
>  The deadline for translations is April 3rd. This leaves us enough time
> to land the new package upload with the updated translation to make it to
> the final 14.04 release. Furthermore, the translation cut-off percentage
> for the documentation is 80%; only translations with 80% or more translated
> strings will be shipped.
>
>  We acknowledge this is a tight schedule, especially for the complete
> Xubuntu documentation. However, we do think that it is completely possibly
> to do it in the time given especially if multiple people per language start
> working on a translation. Ultimately, nothing is in vain: We will be
> updating the packages with our point releases. This gives you a full six
> months to translate the documentation into your language and get it
> included with the first point release of Trusty, 14.04.1, to released in
> October.

>  If you have any questions about translating itself, any technical detail
> or any other question related to translations, feel free to be in touch
> with us either via #xubuntu-devel<http://pad.ubuntu.com/ep/search?query=xubuntu-devel>on Freenode, or the Xubuntu developer mailing list [2].
