Description

#### General information

* App version: 1.2.2 (35)
* System: Android 8.1, Lineage OS 15.1, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X

#### Description
It looks like there is a problem with some translations in Android 8.1 (LineageOS 15.1). Every time I open dandelion or Cherry the app's language goes back to Italian (my system's language) even if I choose Sardinian in the settings. For some reason that doesn't happen with Stringlate.

I've seen that they got the same problem with VLC, and they solved it this way:

I don't know if it could be useful.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the issue on Android 8.1/LineageOS 15.1 with Sardinian selected, then trace the settings and language-selection entry points and compare the referenced VLC issue. Done means the selected language remains Sardinian when reopening Dandelion or Cherry, including on the reported device.
