Forced langage change

I patch my PoE's client today to find out that it was forced on French langage withouy any possibility to return in english (all other langage greyed out)...

I don't know if it is a bug or intended by GGG, but i played this game for the past 10 years in english and i want it to stay that way... French translation is atrocious and missleading when you play the game...
Path of Exile is a Casino for gambling addicts.
Gambling is not fun nor a game mechanic...

Check the setting in your production_config,ini file under the section -->
[LANGUAGE]
chat_language=en
language=en

You can find it here -->
C:\Users\"your windows account name"\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile\
Thanks that worked... I had to create the language section though, don't know why...

I think it's suppose to check what langue your windows is set to and then change ingame langue to that. Why it wasn't like that before I can't tell you.
Thanks for the trick, it happened to me just now. I was lost and didn't know which item and maps i was looting.
I don't understand why language is locked in the option panel, why put this option in the first place if we can't use it. But yeah thanks to you i'm saved !

Very good question. GGG should fix this ASAP.

They have a lot of silly mistakes like this.
