Why

konnos's foundation is rooted in EU sovereignty. A Dutch translation is the natural first non-English locale because of where flandrien sits and where many early users likely will too.

Scope

Create forge/locale/locale_nl-NL.ini with the konnos-rebranded strings (everywhere upstream Forgejo says Forgejo, this file says konnos). Start from upstream's nl-NL.ini if it exists; otherwise translate from the en-US.ini we already have at forge/locale/locale_en-US.ini.

Acceptance criteria

File exists at forge/locale/locale_nl-NL.ini.
All UI strings translated; lookup keys preserved.
Mounted into the Forgejo container via docker-compose.yml.
User can switch to Dutch via Forgejo's language picker.

Pointers

English source we rebranded: forge/locale/locale_en-US.ini
Upstream Dutch (if available): .cache/forgejo-upstream/options/locale/locale_nl-NL.ini

Friendly note: native Dutch speakers preferred. Even partial translation is welcome — submit a PR with what you have and we'll iterate.

A Dutch translation is the natural first non-English locale because of where flandrien sits and where many early users likely will too. ## Scope Create `forge/locale/locale_nl-NL.ini` with the konnos-rebranded strings (everywhere upstream Forgejo says `Forgejo`, this file says `konnos`).
