Language problem
Hello,
I use version 4.2.1.2 and due to a forced re-install of Windows I also had to re-install MS.
Now I noticed that I cannot set my main language to Dutch anymore like I used to have it.
When I try to check for an update of the language, it only goes for an update of English, which is my default Windows language.
Could anyone tell me how I can get my Dutch version back, please, as it is nt even in the list.
Many thanks in advance.

I think that means that your MuseScore language in Edit > Preferences > General > Languages is set to "System default".
What happens if you click on the dropdown arrow of the Languages field? You should see a list which you can scroll down (endlessly...) with the mouse scroll wheel until you see "Nederlands":

Failing that, have you tried Help > Revert to factory settings ?

Hi DanielR,
The dropdown list is quite short and "Nederlands" does not appear in it. (See screenshot).
I also tried to reset the program to factory settings and refreshed the list, but the result stayed exactly the same.
Thank you for your input.

Check C:\Program Files\MuseScore 4\locale, whether there is a languages.json, and check its content, whether it has an entry "nl": "Nederlands",
If not replace it with the attached

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How I did not notice that/think of that......
That is really embarrassing, I thought that was the end of the list as theer was no scrollbar in view.
Nevertheless, thank you ever so much for your patience and your help, I am truly grateful.

But you can't guess scrolling will work if there is no kind of initial visual clue that it will.
Imho that's pretty poor user experience.

I agree.
