what you'll have to do is:
go up to the top right of the page and click settings (or maybe it will say "instillingen", it's the second to last clickable link, next to the log out button.
then, on the sidebars that are on the left, go to the third bar and to the second section. it should have a lock symbol beside it. under that part, you'll go down to the second clicky, general settings (or maybe it'll say "algemene instellingen", i'm using google translate lol). click on that.
go all the way down to the very last drop down menu bar thing, called forum language (or whatever one says "deutsch (du)" in the drop down part). change that back to english, and you should be good
i hope this helps!

OMG YES. THANK YOU. I CAN READ THINGS AGAIN.

It's gone back to Dutch again... =\ I can fix it now but I don't know why.
Wait. It's not Dutch. It's some other language now?
Now it's English again...?

Oh gosh, haha, you guys. Maybe I should learn Dutch! I haven't talked to them actually. Should I PM them?
I would. The least they would say is that is might just be your computer. Anyways, they are always encouraging members to ask them about site issues and things like that.

Hi MerEmma, Just a note. When you go to the Settings/General menu, the 3 languages available are English, German (Deutsch) and Spanish (Español) so the Deutsch (Du) option actually changes the language to German.Originally Posted by MerEmma
The language we call Dutch is the language spoken by people of the Netherlands, and they call their language Nederlands
Just to add to the mix:
German People call English: Englisch
Dutch people call English: Engels
Spanish people call English: Inglés
This video seemed like a lot of fun to watch, and kind of explains it

Plus Dutch is spoken in many other places (don't want to leave anybody out, thanks for the reminder, Ariel Starfish)
- In Belgium (where people call it vlaamse taal, and English people often call it Flemish)
- In Suriname in northern South America (it used to be a Dutch colony)
- In the Dutch Caribbean Islands
- In South Africa (where people call it Afrikaans)
- In Namibia, where Afrikaans is one of the official languages
On a geographical tangent, Afrikaans is pretty different from modern Dutch and Flemish. It started diverging from Dutch in Europe in the 1600s, and has many archaic grammar and spelling features, and they have imported many words from other South African languages as well as invented their own slang, but IME South African, Dutch and Flemish people can talk comfortably to each other with just a little practice.
