Contacts Control in Dutch?

I saw the contacts control is available in french now, that's great!!

Would there be any chance for a Dutch version? I'd like to see that, there are a lot of Dutch Messenger users so... I am even willing to translate it if you like

Thanks!

Well, French isn't *quite* available just yet. It hasn't been officially announced yet.

Yes! We're planning to roll out a small number of translations very soon, possibly before Christmas, and then roll out a large number of translations (the full set of languages supported by Microsoft in end-user products, so the number is up around 30 or so languages).

I'll see if we can get Dutch pulled into the first group. There was certainly no shortage of Dutch at TechEd Europe in Barcelona last week!

It would be cool to accept volunteer translations, but there are concerns about using consistent vocabulary and terms with other Microsoft sites in the same language - particularly since the terms of use and other contractual / legalese bits need to be localized as well.

Woops! I should read my own homepage before replying! (I've been out of the office at TechEd Barcelona for the past week)

French language support for the Windows Live Contacts control has been officially announced.

Haha you should indeed read your own homepage before replying.

I saw the post on the site so I decided to ask. I understand the point about volunteers that are translating.

Btw, I know there were a lot of Dutch people on TechEd, a couple of my friends did lunch with you (guess who) and I would have been there too if I wouldn't have more important things to do...

Contacts control in Dutch? Yes! We've just rolled out an update that adds a bunch of languages to the contacts control. See the other post for details.
