Sinds the last update yesterday - I hadn't done it for a while - icedove is in English, before it was in Dutch, which I prefer. The languagepack is installed, but somehow it seems to be ignored. I tried to start from terminal
icedove -UILocale nl
but it is still in Endlish. Any suggestion?

Do you have the icedove-l10n-nl package installed?

Try 'locale' in a terminal. Is everything still set to nl_NL.UTF-8?

Thank you, John, for your reply.

adrian@hp-adrian:~$ locale
LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
I am not sure if LANGUAGE and LC_ALL should be set to "nl_NL.UTF-8", too. And, if so, how to do it.

I just came across "Tools -> Add-ons" and found in Languages: Dutch Language Pack Disabled! I switched it to "Enabled", restarted icedove and now it's in Dutch again. I Guess this thread can be marked as Solved.

LC_ALL should be left alone generally.
It's possible to set LANGUAGE - it is used by some terminal apps but isn't so important - but the syntax is slightly different. For Dutch you could try putting something like this in ~/.xsessionrc:
export LANGUAGE=nl_NL:nl
but, now I think about it, LightDm should already be setting LANGUAGE anyway.
