Folks,

The official website of the city/state of Hamburg (my native stomping
ground) -- http://international.hamburg.de/ -- has a bunch of versions in
other languages -- yes in the original language of the land as well.  (Click
on "other languages" to see them.)  Wouldn't it be fun to have versions in
other Lowlands languages?

Note that the contents are not straight translations but are somewhat
different in most versions, tailor-made for the assumed reader communities.
For example, the Dutch version features the famous Amsinck family whose
ancestors had immigrated from Zwolle, Netherlands, in the early 17th
century.  The Danish version features the famous 18th-century architect
Christian Frederik Hansen.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
