Thanks to all who confirmed or added their translation
(some translations still need to be confirmed!). Wiki page updated (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AboutScreenTranslation).
Actually, for the German translation I suggest using lowercase for "zeichnen" (I've updated it on the Wiki). For some reason, the formulation sometimes sounds slightly clumsy to me (it sounds OK right now but didn't quite an hour or so ago ;-) ) but I can't come up with a better translation at the moment.

For me it sounds a bit strange too. I think it is because I read the English "Draw freely" as an imperative form. So in German and Dutch that would make "Zeichne frei" and "Teken vrij". Unfortunately, the double meaning of 'free' is lost in translation :(. Personally, I feel the text should not be translated to Dutch at all. It is uncommon and strange in Dutch to translate catchphrases like this.
Ciao, Johan
