Team,

How do I set the default language?

 ![A screenshot of the settings page with a focus on the default locale, which is set to English (US). (Captioned by AI)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/a/b/1/ab15ad29d6aef233abb59413364f139f4c49a78e.png)

See also screenshot:  
I tried it via the admin page under required and default locale.  
But it keeps reverting back to English-US.

What am I missing?

With warm regards - Will
