Originally created by @sheytoon123 on GitHub (Mar 7, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/4833

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Install another language in Android system languages. Make sure English is the first (preferred) language.
  2. Install the latest Bitwarden app from play store.
  3. After visiting a few sites on Chrome that use Bitwarden, eventually the app will switch to the other android language in its own. Forcing Bitwarden to English instead of system language will temporarily fix the issue but it will return after a short time.

Expected Result

Bitwarden should respect the Android system language priority.

Actual Result

Bitwarden uses lower priority system language, even when forced to use English.

  • I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

I'm getting this issue as well, but in my case it's Japanese (my third language). It's also specifically the in-browser (DuckDuckGo) plugin on Android that is showing in Japanese. If I force-stop and launch the BitWarden app directly, it'll open in English.

Bug is still present on version: 2025.6.1 (20398)
📱 samsung SM-F956U1 🤖 15@35 📦 prod
🧱 commit: bitwarden/android/release/hotfix-v2025.6.0-bwpm@e8878d321546a846909c70c00cdf8d7071f0ecf0
💻 build source: bitwarden/android/actions/runs/15984517798/attempts/1

My experience is a pastiche of English and Italian. Funny enough I have Spanish as a third language on my android and that never showed up.

I experience this bug very consistently when using Bitwarden in a pop-up window (I use a Samsung phone).
