I don't know if this has been requested before ...

My mother language is Dutch.
When I use the patch "Don't uppercase header/footer text", I get (as an example) "Hoofdstuk twee . 1 of 21".
In Dutch, it should be: 1 van 21.
I replaced "of" to "van" in the patch, but that doesn't work, as the string length must stay the same.

Is there a way to solve this?
This could be of interest for all languages (like German, Dutch) where the translation of "of" has more than 2 letters.

I know that I can change it to "1 / 21", but I find "1 van 21" more cosmetically pleasing (not a big problem, but it would be nice if possible).
