I don't understand. Why is this translation a mixed? What are those thow
languages?

What are the differences between the two regional versions of Dutch? Is
it relevant to have two versions of 'similar' language? I just ask.
Isn't it any chance to have in Koha one unique version of Dutch
localization and gain sharing on cooperation on this translation
between translators?

Can someone from Belgium confirm that there is a consensus on this? I
have no idea.

Will do if I can have some feedback from other Dutch translators.

Thanks.
