The app's language and your planner's language are separate
Your app language covers menus and messages. Each planner has its own language for the words on its pages, its tabs and its PDFs.
There are two language settings, and they do different jobs.
The app's language is yours
It sets the menus, buttons, messages and dates you see. You change it in your Profile, under Account Settings, then Language. It follows you on every device, and each collaborator sees the app in their own language.
The planner's language belongs to the planner
It sets the words printed on that planner's pages, the tabs along its top, and its PDFs and printouts. You choose it when you set the planner up (Planner language, which is English unless you pick another), and the planner's owner can change it later in Planner settings.
Everyone who opens a shared planner sees its pages in the planner's language, whatever language their app is in, so a shared planner reads the same for everyone.
Good to know
Words you type yourself stay exactly as you typed them, in any language.
