Hi Nicolas and welcome to Wiktionary. I'm a Belgian living in Flanders, so my mother tongue is Dutch. I'm mainly adding Dutch translations to already existing articles and every now and then I start a new one. It will be interesting to know what your ideas about translations are. See you around!

Thanks for your messages on my talk page. Don't worry about the "Intelanguage linking project". I probably won't have a lot of time to devote to it on Friday and over the weekend. After that there normally shouldn't be any problem. I do have a few thoughts however. IMO, the choice of words should be as broad as possible: some verbs, a noun or two, a few adjectives, probably an idiom and/or a proverb, you know what I'm getting at. Do you agree? My dictionaries are already waiting right beside me :-) D.D. 10:50 Mar 6, 2003 (UTC)

Nicolas, I've set up a general skeleton concerning the interlanguage examples we're going to do. I followed your ideas, except for one layout matter: the language bar. In your tests the links to the definition articles and the translation articles are on the same line. I have separated them with a clear mention of what they are. Could you have a look at those pages? They're all interlinked in the same way yours are, but you find all the links grouped on User:Dhum Dhum/ILTests. Please let me know what you think of it. Thanks.

It's taken me some time but I responded to your reactions concerning the interlanguage tests (see User:Dhum Dhum/ILTests). I also deleted the topics we already agree on and placed them at the top of the page. D.D. 20:23 Mar 19, 2003 (UTC)

Hello Nicolas, Thanks for your message on my talk page. It's nice to hear that you're still out there on the other side of this virtual world. I have continued to contribute to Wiktionary, but not as much as I used to do. I have a new job, which entails quite a few challenges I have to deal with. That's one of the reasons why I didn't do anything for the Interlanguage Linking Project. The other reason is that I prefer you to start it and I'll jump in for the Dutch bit. There's no hurry though, you can take your time. There are lots of things on Wiktionary I can keep myself busy with. See you around. D.D. 21:14 Apr 30, 2003 (UTC)
