Contribution
This second translation I had some doubts about what words I should and should not translate to Dutch. Like I explained in the previous post for my first translation to the Steemit project, some words are frequently just taken over from English. This caused me to not be sure about some strings that needed translation.
Examples are the private, owner, posting and voting keys, which all appear quite often in the project as they are part of our daily Steemit usage. I started to skip them at first, to have another look at them, and see more strings in the hope I would find the right answer myself. For some of them I did, and to be sure, I checked the opinion of my LM @misslasvegas.
We both agreed that some translations in Dutch seem weird simply because they haven't been used anywhere else but on Steemit, so it's probably something we have to get used to. We also asked @minersean for his opinion, and I think together we made a good choice eventually on translating them. It feels good to have such a great team with members that are all willing to have a look to give their opinion, or to confirm we chose the right word for translation.
Word Count
As I didn't do the complete translation in one day, I could not see the normal stats selecting my translation report. So I made a print screen of my total translated words, which was 2184. The
My first translation for the Steemit project contains 1003 words.
The first part I translated contained 1003 words (see image below), so the remaining words for this translation should be 1181 for my second translation.

Thank you for contributing to the translation project for Davinci-Utopian @anouk.nox!
This was your second contribution for the Steemit translation project.
There were no major issues, however we had to have a good think about how to translate the 'key' words, as in: posting, active, private keys etc.
After some debating within the team, I believe that we found the perfect solution that makes the text easy to understand for the Dutch, without taking away from the original.
Other than that, this was an excellent translation, again.
Great job!

Thank you @misslasvegas!
I'm very happy that we can always discuss questionable words together or within the team. It's good to know others are willing to have a look, so we can find the best possible translation for a project.
I'm looking forward to translating the last part of the project. Next week translating Steemit to Dutch will be "a wrap".
Have a nice weekend!

That's a great work and contribution that you are doing! 👍
Regarding the translation itself, I know how hard it could be. There are some words and expressions not only Steemit related but especially from IT, computer and app development area, and above all the crypto world which simply don't exist in other languages. Some somewhat, but only sometimes may be translated somehow, but some only in a descriptive way or just using the original word as an official term. Often, there is no other solution.
