 		I want to start off by saying hey to everyone as this is my first post in an ARG.


Well i don't know Dutch and i don't know German, but i do know a little bit about that code provided. It's called Baudot Code as can be seen here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudot_code

The wiki link is more history than anything actually helpful as its explanation at decoding Baudot (CCITT-1) isn't very good. However the German wiki page is very helpful:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudot-Code

The code translates into:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

YOU HAVE FOUND ONE MESSAGE THERE ARE MORE AS I DETHEBRIDGE THERE IS A TOWN THERE WILL BE MORE DO NOT BE FOOLED BY INCRRECT DATA ONLY WHAT IS (-O--- Means Blank Area For Numbers) AU (O---- Means Blank Area For Letters) AT HOTMAIL (-O--- Means Blank Area For Numbers) - (O---- Means Blank Area For Letters) COM PROVIDES OFFICIAL INFO AVOID THOSE WHO (actual space) OPPOSE FOURTEEN FOR THEY WILL ATTEMPT TO DECEIVE YOU BE CUNNING FOR I WILL BE AS WEL


I decoded it using the German wiki link provided above. I did it letter for letter and any spelling was that way in the code. As for the -0--- and 0----, according to the wiki they mean blanks for numbers and letters respectively. Now i know this makes no sense as they should have a direct translation, but i couldn't find one as of yet. Also the "-" in the sentence is supposed to be there. As for "DETHEBRIDGE", I'm sure it isn't supposed to be that way. But i left it that way because making it "I DE THE BRIDGE" doesn't make sense either.

Sorry if i didn't make myself clear anywhere. This is my first post and after decoding Baudot and pondering its meaning, my brain hurts.


Edit: I realize after submitting that a translated version of the German wiki could be really helpful for anyone checking my work.
