Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

I noticed the same thing after the last update. I would also prefer English as the interface language. Before the update everything was in English and now I have a mix of German and English. I already selected English as the interface language on the website but it didn't chance the ones in the app. In the app itself I haven't found any settings regarding this. I'm sure this is because my device language is German.

It might be reading the lanaguage you are using on the operating system if that's the case I don't think you can.

A lot of 'ifs', but might help as a temporary solution.

If you're willing to change Android system language, there a solution that should work.

If you have Android 13 and above, there an option to set the language per app. I heard it's not very good, but people found a way to force it.

adb shell settings put global settings_app_locale_opt_in_enabled false

You need to install ADB on your PC, and enable Developer Options, and USB Debugging on Android settings.
