Agreed. While I love apps supporting my native language, I hate seeing half-translated things. So I usually use English until localization is complete. Additionally figuring out how things work can often be easier in English first (matching terms in troubleshooting and guides).
Jerboa
Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Yeah, troubleshooting in different languages can be a veritable pain in the butt.
Doesn't look like there is a github issue for that yet, can you please create one? https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/issues
I do agree allowing an override in Jeroba would be a nice to have, as a workaround you should be able to put English as your first language in your android system settings and that will tell apps to localize to that first. edit: reworded
Problem is, I'd like to keep my system language set to German if possible.
Android already offers the capability to set default languages on a per app basis, which even works for the otherwise absolutely dreadful official Reddit app (which used to switch between languages all the time), but jerboa doesn't seem to support that yet.
