Reproduction Steps (ported from comment below):

The language picker is hidden behind the internationalization beta, so the reproduction steps would be:

1. Add an account to the internationalization beta
2. Sign into that account
3. Go to Settings -> Preferences, and set the preferred language to español
4. Sign out.
5. Sign into another account not in the beta.
6. App is in spanish 💥

@kevinksullivan, do you have any reproduction steps on how your app changed to Spanish? Did you change your global settings on your phone or attempt to translate some text?

The issue @parasharrajat referenced has a video showing the reproduction steps. Can you take a look to see if their steps match your steps?

I think what happened for @kevinksullivan and I was that we signed into an account that had Spanish as the preferred language, and then we've been stuck in Spanish since 😆

[johncschuster]

Goooot it. I'm not familiar with how someone would sign into an account that has Spanish as the preferred language. Would you be able to provide repro steps?

I've ported the repro steps above to the OP.

@nickmurray47, please let us know if anything's unclear before this is further triaged!
