[Feature] Option to set display language to English #2626
Description
Motivation
Translations can be incomplete, incorrect, and English can simply be an objectively (e.g. more used on the web) and subjectively better fitting language to use for this extension (and userscripts, etc. in a broader sense).
Proposed Solution
A checkbox option in the extension's settings that changes its display language to English.
Use Cases
See motivation section.

We rely on the built-in translation system which currently doesn't allow overriding the language. You can suggest it in WECG if it wasn't already suggested. We could switch to our own translation system but that's probably not exactly trivial.

Thanks for the reply. So for anyone also wanting this feature for extensions, see for example w3c/webextensions#258 and the bugs linked in it (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41283723, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1791356, https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41283723)
