I thought of that also, but it's up to Patchou to decide if it is realy needed (it would make life a bit easier though ;) On the other hand, everybody must update it also which each revision or it's useless :p But I support the idea)

PS (info): We are allow to put 4 comment lines on top of the translationfile. Also, Patchou asked to remove all the english comments (but not everybody does *-)... but I must say that I also didn't remove them all, well, I mean, I kept the realy important ones which say "don't use &", "don't translate", ... for futur reference (or if someone uses the translation as a template))

a version number of the translation file? I think it's better to put that info in the 4 first commented lines. That, with the compatibilitylevel number, give an idea of the version of a file.

yeah indeed...  but new/other Dutch translators or people who want to make a dialect or people who search for errors might use it... or see Lang_Afrikaans.ini ;) (it is based upon the Dutch translation -or rather "was"-)
