Thank you for the nice comment and also for the willingness to contribute
to KMyMoney. This is very much appreciated and is exactly how open/free 
source development works.

What do you mean by "doesn't work yet"? I do see a lot of messages already
translated, so you should at least see some Dutch on the screen. I can't
judge the quality, though.

In KDE we have the developers taking care of the actual application and its
coding and the translation teams. So the Dutch version is maintained by
the Dutch translation team and I ask you to please contact that team to
coordinate.

https://l10n.kde.org/ is the mainpage for translations and contains some
helpful links for the work around translations.

https://l10n.kde.org/team-infos.php?teamcode=nl is the direct link to
the Dutch team and provides information on how to get in touch with
them.

Those sound like useful additions. Would you mind to enter them as wish list
items on https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=kmymoney&format=guided
so that they don't get forgotten? Although, the latest development version
does not differentiate between withdrawal and deposit as earlier versions did.
We'll see.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Thomas
