Agree to stick to the same format for all translation files
| <trans-unit id="1"> | ||
| <source>%count% year|%count% years</source> | ||
| <target>{count, plural, =0 {0 jaar} one {1 jaar} other {# jaren}}</target> | ||
| <target>%count% jaar|%count% jaar</target> |

I think the correct translation should be this one?
| <target>%count% jaar|%count% jaar</target> | |
| <target>%count% jaar|%count% jaren</target> |

Well, yes, and no. I actually had to change this back to "jaar" after accidentally putting in "jaren" - plural of "jaar" is indeed "jaren", but when we (being, the Dutch) say something about multiple years, there's some weird rules going on. We say "18 jaar" and not "18 jaren".
"That took 2 years and 1 months" will become "Dat duurde 2 jaar en 4 maanden". If we then say "Many years" we would say "Veel jaren" instead of "Veel jaar"... I don't know why or what this is called - I'm no linguist, but I'm native Dutch :+)

Oh, even "thousands of years" would be "duizenden jaren" while "2000 years old" would be "2000 jaar oud". "2000 jaren oud" also works, sounds less strange than "3 jaren", but also sounds off to me. I'd be happy to hear if some linguist has answers about this phenomenon :+)

@RobQuistNL Oh, interesting! It was just something I noticed, so I was not sure if that change was accidental or on purpose :) I don't know Dutch at all, so even won't argue with it :D Thanks for the detailed explanation ;)

This fixes some issues with translation (because of the filename), and there were some weirdly formatted translations in the duration.
