As far as I know what has happened is the following:
1) The dutch translation wich comes with mediawiki has been
initialised from the translations made at nl.wikipedia
2) The translation has been finished and references specific to

3) on the Dutch wikipedia messages wich where the same as the standard
translated messages have been removed
