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

fwiw, I agree about better not translating to dutch. Almost anyone
understands english over here, and any dutch translation will probably
have an awkward feeling about it.

For the Dutch translation I previously posted on the mailinglist for
translators the suggestion
"Vrij tekenen"
Personally I think this is a good suyggestion (in Dutch no imperative
is used in the interface, exept when there the user needs to
something; in this case an order would off course be a severe limit of
the users freedom).
Because it would be off-topic, we can have a private discussion on
this issue with the members of the Dutch translation team if there are
further doubts.
Kind regards
Kris
