Hi Berend,
Yes, there were a couple of transpositions of braces and obvious errors 
in mine as well that I fixed. At least for my basic Spanish, the 
translation was adequate and could be corrected by someone more 
proficient. As I am unfamiliar with Dutch, I can't judge how bad the 
above is. Perhaps only some languages could be translated successfully 
by Google Translate and of course there are other translation engines. I 
think that the markup tags have to be left in English, but I could be 
wrong there.
