Can you guys add [nl] to the languages.txt file? (Dutch language)

So back to the history of maple syrup. With regards to native americans maple sugar is called "Sinizibuckwud" which means drawn from the wood.

Just so you know native Americans discoverd hot to collect sap or tree water from maple tress. Maple sugar actually comprised 12% of the diet of native Americans.

The Indians cooked down the sap by heating hot rock in an open fire. They picked the rocks up with sticks, and placed the rocks in a wooden bowl. The rocks were hot enough to make steam to cook down the sap. Conner Prairie Farm in Fishers, Indiana offered a demonstration of this method of making maple syrup.

So on to the Civil War...
The use of maple sugar was regarded as an act of protest during the Civil War in the United States. All of the cane sugar and most of the molasses was raised and produced in the Southern states. During the war and prior to the war, people in the North refused to use cane sugar. Northerners used maple sugar to sweeten their foods. Therefore, using maple sugar was a form of protest against the South.

Moving on, it would be ideal if we could do this having a Dutch translator at hand. Would you be able to find someone who could translate the core phrases?

However do not translate these ;] if you decide you do want to translate, you get to use a special web interface that makes it easier.

Ok, I will do it, but is there a special time limit to translate it all?

Nope! I've added you to the translator team. You should be able to see a forum below that provides instructions for using the online translation editor.
