Please clarify.
I think you're talking about CSS files. But what are you trying to "reset" to? Immediately after the theme wizard had run to produce the theme? The default theme's version (i.e. not altered by the Theme Wizard)?
There's a full revision history of the file in the editor, with revert support.

global.ini and news has some strange things. (dutch language)
Site director
But I do have a suggestion…
Use the 'Review' feature. For any string you're happy with mark it as 'Reviewed'. You can filter by Reviewed/Not-Reviewed, so this will help you keep track of things.
If you don't have reviewer access let me know and I'll see if I can assign it to you.

- Assigned you reviewer access.
- Split this into a fresh topic so you can post your issues as needed.

I set up an testboard with fresh compo.sr
by default, all is English, but on a dutch site its not so nice :)
Wen i change language by Translate/Rephrase page i can translate that page into dutch. ( i know its not the way, but to show you my rpblems its much easier.)
I change the language of my frontpage and there it is.
After change, everything looks nice. But my comments on the 2 articles was gone. ( the topic was still exist WITH comments)
So, i try to comment again, and it works.
But, when i look at the forum, all the articles are double, please see screens. How is this possible?

Composr associated topics with content using the topic description field. This involves a translated language string.
Therefore if you switch your default site language, any existing topics will become disassociated.
You can resolve with a manual database query (in something like phpMyAdmin):
Code
UPDATE cms_f_topics SET t_description=REPLACE(t_description, 'Comment: ', 'Commentaire: ');
The example assumes the table prefix is cms_.

if i stay again with a fresh install what is the best way to start translating to avoid this?
Transifex is not a good solution because my work block this site …
Site director
I'm not really sure how I can answer that question well, but I'll try.
The SQL query I gave should stop it being an active problem.
That's the best solution I can give, as the actual English/Dutch text used for comment topic association is stored in the database. It has to work like that due to Composr's support for third-party forums (i.e. we have to make the association key fit into some kind of human-readable topic field).
I highly recommend Transifex, otherwise Dutch translators are repeating work.
I would not really advise translating Composr in work hours without a boss's permission
. However, there are ways to get around blocks - e.g. Opera has an inbuilt proxy.

I look to the settings but i cant see where it goes wrong
Note: You are fast

I would guess it needs to be set to this for Dutch:
nl-NL.UTF-8,nl_NL.UTF-8,nl.UTF-8,nl-NL,nl_NL,nl
What works depends on what kind of server it is and what locales are installed on it. The above should cover a number of common possibilities.
If you can't use locale, you'll need to use LOCALE_SUBST to do replacements over the English locale, which is also documented in the Internationalisation tutorial.

Now i have another thing.
I translate a lot of my site now in Dutch.
I realy want to help the Composr community for the Dutch fans.
The one on Transifex is realy bad, because there a lot of mistakes.
Is it possible to exprt my langauage and send this to you, or upload it here so Dutch starters can use it as basic?
I also want o try to get people who use phpBB to come to Composr.
I see many people using extenions and ask for thing that composr already have, so they maybe like to use it.

About time and dates are looking fine now. But only with the activity-plugin i see there is everywhere english ,,
Can i fix this?

Please do share, you can upload an addon to the directory:
Translations - Composr
You'll see an Add Download link near(ish) the bottom.

I don't think there's much more I can say other than what I already said about locale_subst and what's in the documentation. Here's a direct link with an example for locale_subst:
Composr Tutorial: Localisation and internationalisation - Composr
If it's not working please share what you have for your locale and locale_subst strings and maybe I can see an error.
Possibly also the block cache needs emptying, I'm not sure.

I use for locale, and substr both
nl-NL.UTF-8,nl_NL.UTF-8,nl.UTF-8,nl-NL,nl_NL,nl
but the activity stays in English.
I will look tomorow to upload my NL language to the directory on the composr site. Now it is time to sleep.
Have a nice day!

However, locale_subst is very different to locale.
You need something more like…
Monday=maandag,Tuesday=dinsdag,Wednesday=...
See the Tamil example in the documentation I linked to for a better idea of everything you may need to set there. You're remapping the individual words that come out of the English locale to the equivalent words in Dutch.
It's a workaround for when server's don't have a real locale installed.
