<p>I've installed a client version of craft. Apparently this is set in my local language (Dutch). First question is if that is something you can set to another language or must I install a Pro version for that? (Dutch is fine, but just would like to know)</p>

<p>Now, while the CP is in Dutch, if I parse the month, it is in English:</p>

<pre><code>{{ entry.postDate.format('F') }}

<p>So how can that be set in Dutch as well?</p>

I've installed a client version of craft. Apparently this is set in my local language (Dutch). First question is if that is something you can set to another language or must I install a Pro version for that? (Dutch is fine, but just would like to know)

So how can that be set in Dutch as well?
