Hi,

I would like to change the Plex app language to English. I figured out that it automatically changes to your iOS language. But the Dutch translation is awful. Looks like it has been done by google translate. Please give us the choice to choose the language like in the web interface or on the tv.

2023 clean-up:  
Feature is available on the operating system (suggestion is therefore considered to be obsolete)

1. Add a secondary language to iOS → [Change the language on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204031)
2. on iOS: `System Settings` \> `Plex` \> `Preferred Language`
