I’ve set the language to Dutch. Now the code text is in Dutch but the instructions are still in English. That creates a problem since the instructions and the text on the blocks are in a different language. How can I also change the instructions to Dutch?
Otherwise, I will give instructions to have both the instructions as well as the text on the blocks in English.
Welcome to the forum! I am not sure how much of the Express Course has been translated into Dutch yet. I’ll try to reach out and ask. You can always send an email to support@code.org and let them know for sure which version of the course you are using (2021?) and see if they can update you on that. I am sure it could be a little frustrating to have the blocks in Dutch and the instructions in English, but I will see if I can find any more information on that.

Hi @batp ! Unfortunately, this issue is a result of certain content having not yet been translated into Dutch. Our translations are an ongoing work in progress, done by volunteer translators from all over the world - this is a growing network as we expand our international partnerships every year! We appreciate your patience as we continue to translate our content and make fixes like this, in the Express course.
If you or anyone you know would be interested in translating our content, we’d greatly appreciate the help! For future reference, some steps to get started with translating are as follows:
