[XA2, Android8] Language switch

I set up Andy on my XA2 in German (as I thought using native language on a mobile would be nice again). But then decided to switch again to English.

All system and native apps are now in English but most of the Android stuff keeps talking to me in German. I do not see any possibilty to switch the language for Android. Using microG and even that is still in German.

I found some method but that was for older (4.4) Android and did not work.

Any ideas/suggestions?

should have been solved by a sw release? But I do not see how...

This one https://together.jolla.com/question/167243/how-to-android-locale-or-language-switch/ is not understandable...

And this one https://together.jolla.com/question/129080/jolla-tablet-android-support-language-problem/ is closest but could not find. Furthermore this seems to be known since years (and of course not solved)

As all rely on 4.1/4.4 and we have now 8.1. So probably another location to modify?

Any ideas/suggestions?
