How to switch the interface language back to english? (Yes again)

Yes, I know that this question has been asked many times, since 2011!!!

We are in 2018 and there is no clear answers.

I'll try to state it clearly:

- How can I switch the interface language back to english, after installing JIRA in different language (French inmy case)?

I have changed the settings, but no success.

I've tried to backup (through XML) my database and successfully reinstall JIRA in English, but when restoring the databse (XML file), the interface went back to French!!!

I think there's plenty of clear answers. Change it back in the general settings.

Jan-Peter is rightly pointing out that if you have ever chosen a different language in your profile, you will not be using the default language any more, you will always use your currently selected one. So changing the default will not change your display.

Thanks guys for your replies.

It is french.

Knowing that I've reinstalled the software in English, but it automatically set back to French after importing the previous database.

The language settings are in the database. So when you import the old data, you get that setting back.

The language the software is installed in is not relevant, all it does is set the default value in a new database.
