Sharepoint mobile application not showing language toggle option

I'm working as my teams main line of technical expertise, and am confused about this. On the company assigned phones, browsers are not allowed to be used for accessing our SharePoint Intranet site.

 

On the site, we have a crucial and simple toggle dropdown for language (English & French), however on the mobile SharePoint application, it does not exist. See images below for more info. 

 

This is quite bizarre, anyone else facing this problem? If so, any tips?

    It seems that functionality to view pages from other translated pages is not provided by Microsoft in SharePoint App.


    But it will show correct language page based on current selected language of mobile device itself. e.g.

     

     

     

     

    And if for your mobile device selected language, translation page is not there in SharePoint then it will display default language page

     

    Hope it information help to you

      So it seems to be a limitation from Microsoft's end? Unfortunate.
      Well at least if someone is fully french they will see french application and website settings and vice versa.

      Thanks for the response
