Hello.
I have written a small Celsius to Fahrenheit program in Dutch. I have a =
brief working knowledge of the language, so I need a Dutch speaker's =
help. Could
you please double-check the Dutch in this code? It will be appreciated. =
Please
remember, I still use a kind of English style approach to the language, =
but
I'm breaking out of the habit.
The code:
-- Graden Celsius tot Graden Fahrenheit
-- Nate Brooman
include get.e
object celsius
object fahrenheit
global procedure ctof ()
clear_screen()
puts(1,"Graden Celsius tot Graden Fahrenheit\n")
puts(1,"Nate Brooman\n\n")
puts(1,"Temperatuur in graden Celsius: ")
celsius =3D get(0)
if celsius[1] =3D GET_SUCCESS then
celsius =3D celsius[2]
end if
fahrenheit =3D celsius * 9 / 5 + 32
puts(1,'\n')
printf(1,"Temperatuur in graden Fahrenheit: %.2f\n\n",fahrenheit)
puts(1,"Dit programma is uit Nate Brooman\n\n")
end procedure
=20
ctof () =20
NOTE: In the dit programma line, I know uit means from.
Thanks in advance,
- Nate

You use 'uit' when you mean from as a location. You need to use 'van' to
define property or credits (as in this case)
>NOTE: In the dit programma line, I know uit means from.
It is wrong though. It didnt come 'out' of you (literally speaking) nor
did it come from the place called 'Nate Brooman'.
The word you were looking for is 'van' but using 'door' might be a
better choice:
This program is made Nate Brooman -- Dit programma is door Nate Brooman
gemaakt'
Not that it matters much. I dunno any dutch that cant speak English,
we're a too small country for self-support as in media, computers and
profession. Most of it is in English.. its a must here.

I do know such people. They really exist. And the number of people who
are uncomfortable with English when they have to do something serious is
considerable (like my own Canadian-born sister): that's why software in
Dutch (and so many other languages) exists.
So let's appreciate the youthful programmer's positive attitude in this
time of globalisation (i.e. US-ification - the globe as the back yard
behind the White House) -- even if his program may not become a smash
hit.
