Some string are displayed in italian even if the language is set to english

Question

Some strings in my Jira Server 8.9 instance are displayed in Italian even if the system language is set to English. My user language is set to English as well, and I've already tried to explicitly set the JVM locale to en_US, but that didn't solve the issue.

For example, in the "Create issue" window, the "Linked Epic" string is displayed as "Epic collegato", but many more strings present the same problem.

Hi @Petter Gonçalves

Thank you for your fast reply!

I tried steps 1 and 3 without success. I already explicitly set the locale in the JVM start parameters, and in fact I can see the following in the "JVM Input Arguments":

-Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US

I also checked for any translation plugin as you suggested in step 2, but I can't see anything other than the language packs.
