#331 Localizer instructions unclear on website
Dutch translation incorrect. Could not find who works on it, so posting here.
Het e-mailadres of de sleutel ID ‘xxxxx’ kan niet gekoppeld worden aan een geldig, niet-verlopen OpenPGP sleutel.
Verzeker uzelf er van dat u een geldige OpenPGP sleutel heeft en dat uw account instellingen naar deze sleutel wijzen.
This should be:
Het e-mailadres of de sleutel-ID ‘xxxx’ kan niet gekoppeld worden aan een geldige, niet-verlopen OpenPGP-sleutel.
Ga na dat u een geldige OpenPGP-sleutel heeft en dat uw accountinstellingen naar deze sleutel verwijzen.
(For the second sentence, you could use ‘Verzeker uzelf ervan dat’, but that is contorted, a typical wordly translation that gives you twisted sentences.)
Translations of Enigmail are kept at babelzilla. If you wish, you can register there and correct the wrong string yourself. Instructions can be found here: https://www.enigmail.net/download/langpack.php
Edit: Changes usually go into the next major release only, i.e. 1.8

Hendrik, can we close that bug?
Well, no. I changed the bug title to reflect my nuisance: on https://www.enigmail.net/home/index.php there is the phrase ‘translating Enigmail into another language’ under ‘How can I help’, but it is not clickable and I have searched the entire site, even the forums for translating instructions, only to hear here that it is connected to Babelzilla. Why not simply make those words a link to http://beta.babelzilla.org/projects/p/Enigmail/ ?
You are right, ‘translating Enigmail into another language’ would better be transformed into a link, but first pointing to https://www.enigmail.net/download/langpack.php. There we have the instructions and here we already have a link to http://beta.babelzilla.org/projects/p/Enigmail
I forgot: We also have a forum for translators: https://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/forum/translations/
I added a link from the main page to the language packs page.
