Change label value after field change

I'm struggeling a little bit with the following.

I've got a visualforce page where i need to change the value of the output label when another field is changed.

Got this code in my VF page

 <apex:pageBlock mode="maindetail" id="thePageBlock"> 
                        <apex:outputPanel layout="block" id="pbsNL" >
                            <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" title="Kies taal" id="pbsectNL">
                                <apex:pageBlockSectionItem id="pbsitemNL">
                                    <apex:outputLabel value="Taal"/>
                                    <apex:selectList size="1" id="nlSelectList" multiselect="false" onChange="changeLanguage(this.value);"> 
                                        <apex:selectOption itemValue="nl" itemLabel="Nederlands"/>
                                        <apex:selectOption itemValue="en" itemLabel="English" title="Choose language"/>
                                    </apex:selectList>
                                </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
                            </apex:pageBlockSection>
                        </apex:outputPanel>


The bold values have to change on choosing "en" or "nl".

Anyone any suggestions?

Hi Chiel,

To achieve the label change, two changes needed in your work:
1. Add actionSupport tage to rerender the outputText tag when selectoption changes;
2. Use custom controller to render the value changes in the outputText based on choosing "en" or "nl". 

Here is the code:
-- VF page:
<apex:page controller="developertest">
 <apex:form >
   <apex:pageBlock mode="maindetail" id="thePageBlock"> 
      <apex:outputPanel layout="block" id="pbsNL" >
         <apex:pageBlockSection columns="1" title="Kies taal" id="pbsectNL" >
            <apex:pageBlockSectionItem id="pbsitemNL">
               <apex:outputText value="{!Taa2}" id="label2"/>
               <apex:selectList size="1" id="nlSelectList" multiselect="false" value="{!n1id}"> 
               <apex:selectOption itemValue="None" itemLabel="None"/>
               <apex:selectOption itemValue="nl" itemLabel="Nederlands"/>
               <apex:selectOption itemValue="en" itemLabel="English" title="Choose language"/>
               <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" rerender="label2" action="{!find}"/>
               </apex:selectList>
             </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
         </apex:pageBlockSection>
       </apex:outputPanel>
    </apex:pageBlock>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>

-- Controller:
public class developertest {
  public string Taa2{get; set;}
  public string n1id{get; set;}
  
  public void find(){
    if(n1id == 'nl'){Taa2 = 'Taa2';}
    else if(n1id =='en'){Taa2 = 'Taa1';}
   }
}

You may need some changes to make a better fit, this is the basic concept to make it working.
