Substantial cleanup of the Dutch translations in lang/nl.json. The current
file contains a mix of auto-translation failures, reversed meanings,
untranslated entries, broken compound nouns, and inconsistent addressing.
This commit corrects 68 entries while preserving the file structure.
Highlights:
- Auto-translate failures fixed:
* "Join Date" was "Sluit je bij ons aan" (translates 'join' as verb,
yielding 'join us!') → "Aanmelddatum"
* "Back to users list" was untranslated (literal English) → "Terug
naar gebruikerslijst"
- Reversed meanings fixed:
* "Banned" was "Verboden" (= 'forbidden') → "Geblokkeerd"
* "Unbanned" was "Deblokkering opgeheven" (= 're-blocked', opposite
of intent!) → "Gedeblokkeerd"
* "Impersonation" was "Imitatie" (= 'imitation/fake') → "Inloggen als"
- Singular/plural fixes:
* "Groups" was "Groep" (singular) → "Groepen"
* "Activity" was "Activiteiten" (plural) → "Activiteit"
- Duplicated word fixed:
* "Minimum password length required for users" had "wachtwoordlengte
lengte" (duplicated) → "Minimale wachtwoordlengte voor gebruikers"
- Compound nouns and capitalisation:
* "Bulk acties" → "Bulkacties"
* "Inlog attribuut" → "Inlogattribuut"
* "Activiteiten Logboek" → "Activiteitenlogboek"
* "Gebruikers Bericht Sjabloon" → "Gebruikersberichtsjabloon"
* "Aangemaakt Op" / "Bijgewerkt Op" → "Aangemaakt op" /
"Bijgewerkt op" (Dutch sentence case)
- Trailing whitespace fix:
* "Voorkom gelijktijdige sessies " (trailing space) → trimmed
- Verb-tense fix:
* Two strings used past-participle 'bevestigd' where present-tense
'bevestigt' is correct.
- Address typo fix:
* "IP-address" (English) → "IP-adres" (Dutch) in two entries
- Standardised the password policy block on a uniform 'X vereisen'
pattern:
* "Verplicht Nummer" → "Cijfer vereisen" (cijfer = digit; nummer =
number sequence, wrong word)
* "Verplicht minstens één nummer" → "Minstens één cijfer vereisen"
* "Verplicht speciale tekens" → "Speciaal teken vereisen"
* "Verplicht minstens een speciaal teken" → "Minstens één speciaal
teken vereisen"
* "Verplicht een mix van hoofd en kleine letters" → "Hoofd- en
kleine letters vereisen"
* "Verplicht tenminste één hoofdletter en één kleine letter" →
"Minstens één hoofdletter en kleine letter vereisen"
* "Geen gevaarlijke wachtwoorden" → "Niet-uitgelekt wachtwoord
vereisen"
* "Vraag de gebruiker bij het inloggen" → "Gebruiker vragen bij
inloggen"
- Standardised infinitive verb form for actions (Dutch UI convention):
* "Beheer Gebruikers" → "Gebruikers beheren"
* "Beheer groepen" → "Groepen beheren"
* "Beheer Groepen" → "Gebruikersgroepen beheren"
* "Wijzig groep" → "Gebruikersgroep wijzigen"
* "Reset wachtwoord" → "Wachtwoord resetten"
* "Herhaal wachtwoord" → "Wachtwoord bevestigen"
* "Voorkom gelijktijdige sessies" → "Gelijktijdige sessies voorkomen"
* "Onthoud inlogmodus" → "Inlogmodus onthouden"
* "Stuur gebruikers een notificatie" → "Gebruiker notificeren"
* "Stuur Beheerders een notificatie" → "Beheerders notificeren"
- Standardised on formal 'u' addressing throughout (the file mixed 'u'
and 'je').
No keys added or removed; file structure (line count, key set) unchanged.
68 of 188 entries modified.

Highlights of changes
Critical fixes (factually wrong)
Password policy block (consistency)
Standardised the
Require Xtoggle labels into a uniform "X vereisen" pattern:Note: "Cijfer" replaces "Nummer" — cijfer is the correct Dutch word for digit, while nummer means a number sequence (phone number, house number).
Infinitive verb consistency for actions
Mixed imperative/infinitive forms harmonised to infinitive (Dutch UI convention):
Formal "u" addressing
Several entries used informal "je" — corrected to "u":
*The original also added an invented "API" context not present in the source string.
Compound noun fixes
Capitalisation fixes (column headers)
Title-Case was used inconsistently in column header strings — corrected to Dutch sentence-case:
Verb-tense fixes
Two strings used past-participle "bevestigd" where present-tense "bevestigt" is correct:
Other accuracy fixes
