[Foundation-l] And if I don't understand Dutch?

[Philippe Beaudette]

Hi Ziko,


Each chapter builds their own landing pages, but they have the ability to build them in as many languages as they'd like.  In this case, it looks like the Dutch didn't build a German language landing page, and so it defaulted to their dutch language one.  :)
