System language not working

Ok, so there are a few situations, which do not work as (I) expect:

  1. On shared host with dev branch (working on DE help files):
  • The menu is EN, but when click on help button, the url is DE -> help/de/about/about.
  • Changing the lang in help does not work exept for ES and FR (not working for EN and/or D)
  • Changing the >System Language< in Admin Panel changes nothing (tried ca, de, de-de, en). -> still EN menu, and DE help.
  • Time zone of the server is Berlin.
  • ff setting is DE
  • VPN Location DE
  1. On VPS with master branch (prodution server):
  • Changing >System Language< in Admin Panel (to EN) changes nothing. Still the German menu. I do not know how I changed to DE in the past. :-/
  • Help changing to EN does not work, It automatical changes to DE url: help/de/about/about
  • ff setting is DE
  • VPN Location DE. Even if the VPN comes from CZ the menu is German

I would have expected, that:

  • if I change the >system Language<, the changes are visible in menu, etc (instantly).
  • if I tap on help I see help in my chosen language/the language the system/browser has.
  • if I change the language in help, the language acually changes (as it does with ES and FR)

The thing is: I would like to invite some friends, who do not (like to) speak English. And to be honest: It is also easier for me to read help files in my language, if I need and want help ...
