Glad to hear that. Out of curiosity - which OS and which dive computer
are you using?

That's a great way to start.

Not speaking Dutch myself this all sounds fine.

We don't have the concept of submaintainers in a small project like
Subsurface. So the polite thing to do would be a) send the patch to the
mailing list and b) explicitly Cc the last person who worked on that
file (so that would be Jacco - I don't count when I just clean things up
or do mechanical processes).

I will add the Cc's to this email and apply the patch. If Jacco has
issues with your translations it's easy enough to change things back :-)

Thank you for providing a good commit message and a Signed-off-by line!
