As of this moment the skin is in english.

Can you please verify that the file skins/weewx-wdc/lang/nl.conf exists?

I forgot to include it in the "install script" (already fixed, see 091edd0), but I assume the file exists for you because you had copied it earlier.

However, I can reproduce this behaviour, but only on my local test machine, when I change the language on my production machine, it stays the correct one and does not change. So I assume its a config mistake somewhere, I will do some more research...

I think I figured it out, after looking in my weewx directory, I saw a lot of weewx.conf.backup files:

After removing these with

sudo rm weewx.conf.2022*
sudo rm weewx.conf.2023*

and restarting weewx, the language does not change anymore. Can you please have a look if it's the same problem for you?

from weewx-wdc.

Yes, removing the old log files did the trick.
I don't understand why, but thank you for finding this solution.

Me neither but this is not related to the skin. The language is handled by WeeWX itself. I tested this and it is the same for the default Seasons Skin. You could post to https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/ if it bothers you.
