Changing “language” settings used by Pandoc for generated output [Pandoc template variables]
This is not directly a LaTeX question since I use Markdown to format my text but this subpart of "stack" seems the most correct place to ask my question.
I generate my PDF with Pandoc from markdown using the command:
pandoc myDoc.md --chapters -o result.pdf
Where it generates chapters from my markdown. This is nice, however it calls the chapters "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2" and so on and so forth (See http://cl.ly/PfRJ ). For English documents this would be okay. However my documents are in Dutch.
Is there any way I can change this? I think there is a template somewhere where it stores these things? But I can't seem to find it.

Welcome to TeX.SX! Usually, we don't put a greeting or a “thank you” in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise.

You can pass the lang option to the template using -V which passes it further to the babel package.
pandoc -V lang=dutch somefile.markdown
This is translated to the following LaTeX code which should result in dutch chapter headings.
usepackage[dutch]{babel}

This is right, however for some purposes i.e. bibliographies with pandoc-citeproc you will need to set the language as metadata (use-Mrather than-V). This will also set the variable. This is explained here: pandoc.org/README.html#reader-options

@Marco already answered your main question. However, this one is still open:
" I think there is somewhere a template where it stores these things? But I can't seem to find it."
If you do not refer a specific template on the Pandoc command line with --template=my-latex-template.tex, then Pandoc will use an internally available template.
Pandoc has such templates for (almost) all output formats it can generate.
You can print that template for LaTeX with the following command:
pandoc -D latex | tee pandoc-default-template.latex
If you open that template in a text editor, you'll see where it uses variables:
- These variables look like
$varname$-- that is, they are enclosed in$characters. - You can see what the variable names are.
- You can see how you can influence the outcome of the generated document by using the command line switch:
-V varname="some value"or--variable=varname:"some value".
