The Flyout widget in 1.1.6 and earlier has a fixed width. It was really not wide enough for Settings before, and it is certainly not wide enough for French!

You can configure your computer to use English:

By default, the UI will use the OS language configuration. However, you can set the LANG_JOULESCOPE_UI environment variable, which will override the OS language. Use the 2-letter language codes above. At this time, the UI only offers basic language translations without country codes.

In Windows, search for Edit the system environment variables. Click Environment Variables...". Click New and create LANG_JOULESCOPE_UI set to en**.

Fixed in 1.1.7 which is available as alpha today. You can now very carefully move the mouse to the right-hand-side of the flyout window. The cursor will change to ↔. You will then be able to click and drag to the desired size. Note that the Settings widget in the flyout uses a separate size from everything else. You will need to resize it separately.
