[Translators][NL] New donate page: please translate!

[Jelle Hermsen]

Hi Sam,
Thanks for being so thorough. Do you have access to the SVN? In that 
case you can commit the changes yourself in the future. I have committed 
the changes to SVN.
I suggest we leave all the names for the donor levels as they are right 
now. Changing them will not only mean changing the donate page, but also 
grepping through the entire tree to find all the other pages that need 
to be updated consequently.

What about frogspeak or gurgle speak? My harsh 'g' sounds like the 
drains needs some serious maintenance :). And I think there are some 
people who wouldn't mind practicing some amateur-dentistry on my face 
when I'd dare to call Frisian Dutch, so I'm on the safe side here :-p

* "Contributeur" does sound French, in fact it is. Gives the whole 
donor-levels a tad bit of sophistication don't you think?
* Doorlopende contributie" sounds strange, but I think this is the usual 
way to call this.
* I've put 'gelieve' in. I agree this is much better.
* I don't see any problems with 'naast een donatie'. 'Bovenop' sounds 
like an anglicism to me.
* "Als u uw donatie via...", changed into: "Als u doneert via een..."
* I agree Sponsoriconen is total hogwash. We are no Americans :-), 
"sponsorplaatjes" it is


Cheers,
Jelle
