Hello @Fischenicher ,
Thank you for reporting this issue.
We have an internal case logged to resolve it. Once I have any updates from the team, I will let you know.
Thank you,

Same behaviour on the beta environment (beta.waze.com, W.version v2.361-8-gc4a9d05e95), so the fix doesn’t seem to be staged there yet.
For what it’s worth, the <wz-option> elements carry the correct language codes (af, ar, bg, ca, cs, da, de, el, es…) - only the labels are wrong: each option shows the word “English” translated into that language, instead of the language’s own name. The stored preference itself is unaffected (wz-select.value is still fr on my side, and the UI stays in French), so it looks purely like a label-resolution issue.

The problem also affects the language shown in the URs. When there’s a UR with the language tag “French” I always answer in French, this UR shows the language tag “Anglais” (the French word for “English”). The UI is still German.

Hello @Fischenicher and @drslump34 ,
I wanted to let you know that the team implemented the fix for this issue. Could you please check on your end and verify whether everything works as intended now?
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Hello Kasia,
everything works as intended in production and in beta as well, language selection in the WME settings and in the event settings works, language in the URs works as well
Greetings, Stefan

Hi Kasia,
Confirmed on my side as well - production, ROW, French UI:
- The language dropdown in the WME settings now lists every language under its own name (Deutsch, Italiano, עברית, 日本語, …) instead of “English” translated into the UI language, and the underlying codes still resolve correctly.
- The driver’s language shown on URs is correct as well.
Two cosmetic leftovers I noticed while checking, unrelated to the fix itself:
- en-IE is labelled “English”, so it is indistinguishable from the plain en entry in the list (something like “English (Ireland)” would be expected).
- sv is labelled “svenska” in lowercase, while every other entry is capitalised.
Thanks for the quick turnaround!
