Download the WordPress language file. The Dutch files can be found on the Dutch WordPress site
Extract the tar
-file and move al the languages files (*.mo
, *.po
) to their corresponding locations of the WordPress site (/wp-content/languages/
etc).
Install the plugin WP Native Dashboard. Now you can choose which language you want to use in the backend.
