Sorry, I know almost doesn't do it, but this is a string included in a
default variable. I don't even know if those get translated.
While 'minutes' would become 'minuten' in Dutch the abbreviation 'min'
would stay the same as in all Western languages I know, that's what I
meant.
By the way if any assistance is needed in the Dutch translations??
Feel free to ask. I have seen occasional weird tranlations, in part
due to different word ordering or as you say a wrong guess as to its
intended meaning.
I know how difficult it is, especially with English
being almost the shortest language around. And I do know code although
no C++.
