In India and Spanish for me too. However, I can select English from the selection dropdown above.

Anyways, why is that even the Big Tech does this! For instance, Google Maps will default to Dutch (which in the land of the Dutch) while my OS, the browser and everything else is in English. I found no option to say “English” and be done with it. I can translate but that isn't the correct way to it.

Yes, I believe a better approach is to recommend the language based on the browser settings, allowing users to switch manually if they prefer. This is my plan, and I will release this feature once it's developed.
