Research direction

The issue points to the setup wizard's timezone step and the browser's language setting; begin by tracing how those inputs are currently handled and where UI localization is selected. Done means a new user is offered or receives an appropriate UI language based on the timezone or browser setting, with the choice still clear when the signals differ.
