I added a hotseat player to a game of "Stone Age". The hotseat player's language was set to French. I attempted to change the language to English in the profile settings (it was user "_hotseat01"), but could not. I tried another game, "7 Wonders", with the hotseat player and had the same result.• Which browser are you using?

Also during game play the whole interface switched to French when it was the hotseat player's turn.
I tried using a VPN to change my IP address to a US based IP and hotseat players still showed with French as their language. French language is also shown on hotseat profiles whether viewed logged in or logged out.
I have not been able to find a method for switching to a different language on a hotseat player.
Their log always in french.
Use Firefox as browser.
Even when playing Can't Stop it showed the french board which is different from the one I always see when playing no hotseat games. (this was some time ago; before the box showing up first in every game).
To reproduce you probably need to be from different country than France I suppose ;)
The game is in french.

As you can see in this game at least the game prompts are in english so i do not see this causing any issue in game play.
A l'inverse tout le site est généralement en français et c'est le cas du jeu dice forge également.
Mais surtout je ne trouve pas français dans la liste des langues parlées disponibles que je peux sélectionner.
From the Play Now page, I selected Simple Game, Real-Time, Friend, then Add a a friend.
I answered "Yes" to the question "Will both you and your friend share the same screen?"
Then I typed the player name and clicked "Add player"
Then a I chose a game
When I am taken to the screen to adjust the game settings and start the game, the hotseat player's country designation is already France.
I don't know if this is related, but I've also noticed that the game stats are unavailable at the end of the game (regardless of who wins). The system is expecting the hotseat player to be a premium member and offers to upgrade the hotseat player in order to view the stats.
I am in the United Stated and am running Windows 10. My browser is Chrome Version 79.0.3945.130 (Official Build) (64-bit). I am using a guest window and logged in through my Google account.
Sorry for the delay.
Note: the hotseat player language is now your browser language.
