If it is about math I sure am interested. I can translate the text
from English to Danish, but I cannot translate from Dutch.
Specifically, what is the book about? Is it high school math or levels
above or below? Are the illustations written in MetaPost? If so, then
it should be an easy task translating them.

I must admit that I am not an expert of ConTeXt, just a beginner, but
I have used LaTeX and MetaPost extensively.
