You'd have to re-scrape your library after having set the language to Dutch.
What has been previously scrapped in English will stay that way until you re-scrape.

you need to change the scraper setting for that source to the language you want.

Hello folks
The refresh of a movie doesn't help.
Is there another solution?
Changing or deleting the .xml or .nfo file?

Finally after years of struggling with this annoying behavior figured out the solution.
So forget about adjusting Kodi Regional settings or Add-ons/Languages or any of the Scrapers (Movie or TV shows) Add-on default settings. They don't have effect your already created sources. Some of these mentioned settings have effect only if you newly add a source (folder) to Kodi.
Navigate to >Videos< then >Files<, then select the source you want to edit (I called mine >Movies<) but don't normal click on it. Instead long press the Enter/Ok/Select button (whatever keyboard/controller you have), that brings up context menu. Select >Edit Source<, then click >Ok< on the first (popup) window, then on the second window choose >- Settings< and finally edit >Preferred language<. Repeat this any all of your sources if you have more than one (ie: Movies, TV Shows).
