Describe the bug

I can't change Cromite's language. It's set to Current device language by default and it's impossible to change to a different language.

Steps to reproduce the bug

My phone's language is set to German.

Go to Settings > Languages
Under Cromite's language select English (United States)
Press Restart Cromite

Expected behavior

Chromite's language should be set to English now. When I go to Settings > Languages, the selected language under Cromite's language should be English.

Actual behavior

Chromite's language is still set to German after the restart. When I go to Settings > Languages, German is still selected under Cromite's language.

Additional info

This bug doesn't exist in Chrome, only in Cromite (and Bromite).

It seems like Cromite's language settings are outdated. They look exactly as in Chrome but Cromite doesn't support changing the app's language via the App info page in the phone's settings. (see screenshots)

It would be nice if this was fixed and Cromite was brought up to par with Chrome, so you can also see an option for Cromite's langauge on the App info page.

I don't see any problems, the ui adjusts correctly if you use the setting directly in the settings of cromite. try sending a video.

I have attached a video. You can see that I'm trying to change to a different language, but it doesn't work.

I have changed my device's language to English, so the UI is in English by default. In Cromite the language is set to Current device language. I'm trying to change from Current device language to German but it's not possible to change the language.

I noticed that I have the same problem in Brave. There's some problem with Brave, Bromite and Cromite that makes it impossible to change the app's language. But there's no problem in Chrome.

The difference between Chrome and the other browsers is that Chrome supports Android's settings for individual app languages. It allows you to change the app's language in Android's settings (as described here Change app language on your Android phone - Android Help) and not only in the app's internal settings. You can also see that in my screenshots above.

Why is this feature missing in Cromite? Cromite is based on Chrome, so was it removed intentionally?

so was it removed intentionally?

No. well, then let's add that the anomaly of anomalies is that it works for me! :) maybe it is something related to A13. i will try browserstack.

What phone do you use? Maybe it could also be related to Samsung phones?
