@fpr625 are you on the web version or the phone app? I'm not sure how to set language in the app, but if you're on the website, do the following:
Click on the dropdown associated with your name (upper right part of the screen)
Click where it says "Language"
Make sure both the "display language" and the "story language" are set to "English" (or whatever other language you prefer)
Click "save" (lower right).
It isn't perfect, because it relies on people correctly indicating the language of their story, but it should help. Good luck!
