RE: Cookie, we need you, save us from the angry Dutchman!!!
'Contactpersonen' could also be 'contacten' (contacts in english). As we are not talking about a mechanical device, everybody knows it's about the persons in your list, which makes it a smaller word without a double meaning. Microsoft likes to write 'Contactpersonen' because they got plenty of space, but we must be realistic as we are limited. We must be creative, though clear. I really believe if we bundle our Dutch power we can bring up good alternatives :)

'contact log viewer program' -> 'contactlogboek projector'

viewer program -> weergave -> weergever = projector (beter nederlands)

see?

But that is my opinion!
