How to change the language in Jerboa 0.0.35? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Can anyone help me where I can change the default language of Jerboa back to English?

Since the update to 0.0.35 uses my device language but I prefer English for it. Is there any option I'm missing?

Edit: fixed spelling of "Jerboa"

If you are on Android 13+ you can go to your phone settings -> System -> Languages and Input -> App Languages -> Jerboa for Lemmy and set the language here to English.

Nochmal auf Deutsch: Systemeinstellungen -> Sprachen und Eingabe -> App-Sprachen -> Jerboa für Lemmy -> English

Ah! My device is still on 12+ and there is no official support for 13+

I have the same problem and would also prefer English over German. I'm still on version 0.0.33 so I at least don't have the text below the icons on the bottom. I too haven't found an option to change the interface language in the app.
In the browser version there's a possibility to select the preferred interface language but after choosing English there it didn't change anything in Jerboa.
