Language in XFCE

How do I set the language in XFCE ? I recently changed login manager and something probably broke. Everything seems to be correct (to dutch). But programs still open in English (which were dutch before). Can anyone please help me?

Re: Language in XFCE

The command locale gives:
LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8
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=

So I can assume that that is already correct right?

Ok, I tried to set the locales in my bashrc:

[Ronald@Alpha Ronald]$ cat .bashrc
# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions
export LANG="nl_NL@euro"
export LC_ALL="nl_NL@euro"
export LC_COLLATE="nl_NL@euro"
export LC_CTYPE="nl_NL@euro"
export LC_MESSAGES="nl_NL@euro"
export LC_MONETARY="nl_NL@euro"
export LC_NUMERIC="nl_NL@euro"
export LC_TIME="nl_NL@euro"
export LC_PAPER="nl_NL@euro"

This doesn't work. The environment is still English. I'm sure I have the language installed...

Really sorry for double posting but I did it. Logging out and in didn't work. Killing the app and restarting the app did it
