No there isn't, English, French, German and Italian translation dictionaries
are all that I know of.

And you can get around just speaking English in Holland without a real
problem, most people will speak at least enough to tell you were you should
be going.
Subscriptions to the local Newton list are on
http://lists1.email.luna.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newtongebruikers
though the list is Dutch speaking only he will definitely get answers to
English questions, I'll see to that personally ;-)
We might even throw another NNUG (Netherlands Newton User Group) meeting.
