[Translators-l] Ready for early translation: Tech News bulletin #15 (2014)

I see something strange on
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2014/15/nl

This line is incorrect: "2014, *15. Wort *(maandag 07 april 2014)". In
English it says "2014, *week 15* (Monday 07 April 2014)". In Dutch it
should be the same as in English ("week 15"). Where can this be corrected?

Cheers!
