The browser extensions as well as the mobile apps adopt to the system's language settings. While being quite handy I'd rather see an option to override that automatic behaviour with a manual language setting. I do like my security apps to be in english while my OSes are in german. I setup the web and desktop application of BW to be in english and I'd be happy if I could set the browser extension and mobile app to english as well. It's inconsistent to have that option on some platforms while others are "stuck" with an auto setting that can't be overridden.

Note: This had been raised some days ago and got closed quickly (reason: it's a feature not a bug). I do think though that having the option to decide the display language per app/extension would be beneficial.
