Description

Hi there !

I have a little bug in AltStore PAL. My iPhone 17 (iOS 26.2) is configured in French with France as region, and the same for my iCloud account.

I wrote commonly in French so I have the French keyboard, and also in English like in this place, so I also have English keyboard installed.

I use a Ukrainian keyboard to have a Cyrillic keyboard and I also use a Japanese manuscript keyboard.

I discover that when I have a Japanese keyboard installed, AltStore automatically switch to Japanese. I need to uninstall the Japanese keyboard to recover AltStore to English.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in AltStore on an iPhone running iOS 26.2 with French, English, Ukrainian, and Japanese keyboards installed. No file or test is identified in the report, so first trace where the app selects its interface language; done means AltStore remains in the expected language without removing the Japanese keyboard.
