The translation feature is very useful (using the "Taal" option).

Unfortunately this also translates persons names which is unhelpful.
For example, I have people who's family name is "Trouwen". This gets translated to "Marry", "Getting Married", "Married" etc.
Having a Dutch mother, I do understand quite a lot of Dutch, and I know that "Trouwen" means "to marry", but PLEASE do not translate people names.

I agree with you. A person's name should never be translated. Unfortunately, the owner of GenealogieOnline is the only person who can resolve technical issues with the website. He has not been active for two years and does not respond to issues raised on the forum. However, he is working behind the scenes on the website. So you can only hope that he sees this message and resolves the issue one day.
