| − | Translated into [[Dutch]] as ''[[Dertig Jaren, of Het Leven van een Dobbelaar]]''. Apparently, according to documents in the [[Dutch]] archival collection "Stukken betreffende leden van de families Vitringa en Van Delden"[http://www.archieven.nl/nl/zoeken?mivast=0&mizig=210&miadt=45&miaet=1&micode=1333&minr=922381&miview=inv2], it was copied from the first performance by A.J. van Delden Stevenz and his text is subtitled "Melodrama in drie tijdperken". However the first published [[Dutch]] translation, as ''[[Dertig Jaren, of Het Leven van een Dobbelaar]]'', is credited to Bernard Antoine Fallée, subtitled a "tooneelspel, dat in drie dagen afspeelt" ("a play which takes place in three days") and published in Amsterdam by J.C. van Kesteren, 1828.
