Hi @Alwaysin,
Adding a APP_LANG variable to the .env file should achieve this.

Available options are : 'en', 'de', 'es', 'es_AR', 'fr', 'nl', 'pt_BR', 'sk', 'ja', 'pl', 'it' or 'ru'. (Quotes not needed in .env file)

Will close this now since the above should now solve it.

Let me know if that does not work and this can always be re-opened.
