Description
Google Maps will always stick to the english language, regardless of the language set in the system settings (German in this case).
Tested on both a Samsung Galaxy S5 (LineageOS 16 for microG with ver. 0.2.6.13280) and OnePlus 3T (SkyDragonOS (Android 9) with microG ver. 0.2.8.17785-beta-1 mapbox)

The report names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the language mismatch with German system settings on an Android device and the reported Google Maps configurations; done means Google Maps respects the system language instead of staying in English.
