I added Dutch translations and followed the instructions in #262.
A few things that might be of note:

  1. I used the Dutch translation of triangular number, rather than inventing a translation for termial.
  2. I didn't really understand the difference between roughly and approximately, but I tried my best.
  3. I copied Russian when it came to translating uple-factorial. I hope I did so correctly.

First of: thank you for your first contribution! :)

roughly is used when an number gets shortened/truncated to fit, for example: 2.5 x 10^100
approximately is used when we don't use the normal calculation formula, but the Sterling formula which approximates the number.I hope I got it correct :P

Since I don't speak Dutch I can't QA this by myself and ran the translation through a LLM. Here are some suggestions by the said AI. Please take a look at it. Some of them might be over the top or hallucinated, so take the following part of the message with a grain of salt.

Current Dutch Problem Better
hoeveelheid cijfers understandable, but unnatural aantal cijfers
macht van tien toren awkward compound toren van machten van tien or 10-machtentoren
reactoe text typo/mixed English reactietekst
herhaals typo herhaald
Als ik alle getallen het geplaatst grammatically wrong Als ik alle getallen had geplaatst / better: Als ik alle getallen zou opnemen
wetenschappelijke notatie moest omzetten double “moest” structure is wrong wetenschappelijke notatie gebruiken
benaderd {result} wrong adverb form ongeveer {result} / bij benadering {result}
vijfentwintgdubbel typo vijfentwintigdubbel

Edit: don't mind the failing pipeline, I'll push the needed changes before merging

I implemented all the suggestions, and asked for some extra feedback myself. It should be all good, now

Thank you very much, I'll merge the changes either today in the evening, or tomorrow :)

While you are at it: if you know of any subreddits that are explicitly Dutch, feel free to add them to the subreddits.json! The reddit api doesnt always has a clear language, so the bot won't always reply in the correct language.

I've bumped the version and I have seen you've also added the subreddits. Is it ready to merge on your side? @d00zylive

I can't think of anything that needs to be added, no

What's the best way for me to add more Dutch subreddits? I'm building a list of more Dutch subreddits, so I can add a bunch more, in the future

@d00zylive just feel free to open a new pull request! You can create a new fork/or new branch from master and just edit the subreddits.json again
