Comment (by Thorin):

 FYI:
 I downloaded the latest German stable 64bit for Windows

 checking default prefs I see
 - `intl.locale.requested` - `de`
 - `intl.accept_languages` - `en-US`
 - `javascript.use_us_english_local` - `true`
 - `intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales` - `false`

 Under options>general>language ... there are only two items (in this
 order)
 - English/Vereinigte Staate von Amerkia [`en-US`]
 - Englisch [`en`]

 All these look good to me (except not sure about `intl.locale.requested` -
 I always have mine set as en-US, but then English is **MY** language, and
 I'm not sure where/how exactly requested languages get picked up on: but
 it's a usability issue: not everyone speaks English)

 Results on fpjs2 are "en-US"
 Results on
 https://ghacksuserjs.github.io/TorZillaPrint/TorZillaPrint.html#language
 are
 - languages: `en-US,en" and all the rest are `en-US`

 Cannot replicate
