Hello,
I'm completely new to writing messages to mailinglists, but I'm not new to inkscape, have been using it for almost 10 years.
Hope this message is the correct way to get in touch.
I'd like to contribute to, or request, a rectification of the current Dutch translation.

Especially for the translation of STROKE, as in "Fill and *Stroke".*
It's currently translated as "Vulling en *Streek*", instead if the previous "Vulling en *Lijn*".
The word "*streek*" does exist in Dutch, and it has multiple meanings, but that of a line is not common. https://translate.google.nl/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=streek&op=transl... https://www.woorden.org/woord/Streek
At first I thought it was a typo, because the Dutch word "*streep*" does also exist and can be used for indicating a line, a dash. https://translate.google.nl/?sl=auto&tl=en&text=streep%0A&op=tra... https://www.woorden.org/woord/Streep
In Belgium, I volunteer as a coach for teaching young, Dutch speaking children (8 years +) how to design for the lasercutter, using Inkscape. Due to this context, this current Dutch translation bothers me (I always prefer English versions for personal use). Being forced to use "Streek", "Streekkleur", "Streekstijl" with young children, feels very uncomfortable. It's like I am learning them incorrect Dutch.
So, if you agree with me that "*Streek*" should be replaced, I would rather go back to the previous "*Lijn*", instead of changing it to "*Streep*".
Looking forward to your feedback. Also if you disagree!
Kind regards,
Catherine (Belgium)
