I don’t have any specific steps to reproduce the issue. However, I recently encountered a second instance where the AI helper modal did not display in English, despite making no changes to my locale settings. Below is a screenshot I took 2 weeks ago. Although my locale was set to English, it appeared in German.

This is the screenshot I took just now:
