Nice to hear that at least someone is using my Dutch translation of TSVN :)

I think spell checking is done automatically using all installed
dictionaries, until you set a WC property to a single project language
to be used.

I am 100% Dutch, born and raised in Holland. I can appreciate your
laughs for some of the translations, but I have actually thought about
using 'browser' or something else. My final conclusion was: if someone
wants to use the Dutch translation they are not comfortable with
English and I will translate 'browser' as well.
And yes, there are still a lot of English terms in the current Dutch
translation, because I cannot come up with good (and short!)
translations for some terms (like 'Diff' etc.).
But you are more than welcome to send suggestions to the list or
provide your updates to the Dutch .po.

Thanks for noticing, I will update this as soon as I have time to
submit a more up to date .po (probably this weekend).
