Very easy:
Go to 'voorkeuren', under 'interface'' click 'uiterlijk en gedrag'.
A new window opens, and at the top right there are two drop-down menu's, and the lower one gives you the option to change your language.
Then click 'toepassen' (top left)

Then restart Calibre...

After having read your question, I realized that on my Linux computer Calibre installed in English, whereas on my husbands Windows PC it's in Dutch.
On Linux OS, you can give each account a different languages, so I work with an English account there, while my son is using the same computer in Dutch.

I guess that when you first install Calibre, the language used for the OS / account is used as default, but you see you can use (almost) every other language... A beautiful piece of software I think...

If Anne's suggestions don't work for you, Mafonzie, try your question in the Calibre-dedicated sub forum here. There's sure to be a simple way. Meantime, good to have your company. Happy e-reading and best wishes. Neil
