Override language of the Plex app UI

Is it possible to override the UI language somehow?

Currently the Plex app is using the language my Apple TV is set in and the translation is completely abysmal and seems to be expanding all over the UI. Can I force the UI language to english somehow?

What language is your AppleTV set to?

Don’t know how it’s relevant to my issue of wanting it to be in english.

My AppleTV is set to Finnish, because that’s the easiest way to get the subs from iTunes in the correct language automatically.

Unfortunately not.

Thanks, this is helpful in tracking down why the translation isn’t working as you’d like.

Translations are user-contributed in may cases, including this one for Finnish.

You can help and update/add strings if that’s something you’re willing to do.

If that’s the only choice and manually forcing the UI language is not possible, I think I must try to fix the horrible translations.

The current situation is like someone ran it through Google Translate :man_facepalming:

I’ve fixed the horrible translations, but it seems that “someone” needs to review the translations for them to get picked up for the next build: https://www.transifex.com/plex-1/plex-ios7/language/fi/

What’s the process for this and can I help somehow?
