Thanks! That did the trick. although it's weird to do it this way. I think something isn't really okay during setup/installation. I choose my native language in the first step of the installation procedure but still everything turns into the English language.

I think the developers messed up 1 or 2 things here since i've never encountered anything like this.

Try this:

Open a terminal and do:

Code: [Select]
xdg-user-dirs-update --force
then log out then in again. You will see 2 sets of each folders, now you have dutch names.
Don't forget to move files from the english folders to the dutch ones.

Then you can delete the english folders.

*edit*
This did the trick: https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/install.html#setlang. But only for the Whisker menu. How can i also change the folder names in Thunar from English to Dutch?
