    SharePoint follows the browser language only if the Office 365 profile language has not been set. Several things can set this language. You can change it directly using Delve, or indirectly by setting a new language in your Microsoft 365 account settings or by changing it in AAD. To set it directly, go to your personal menu, click on My Microsoft 365 Profile
    Click on Update Profile under your name
    Scroll down to "How can I change language and regional settings?" and click on it
    Click on the word "here"
    click on the ellipsis (...) and then choose Language and Region
    Under Language/Language Preference/My Display Languages, delete the current language
    Click on Pick a new language and select the new language
    Click on Add
    Scroll to the bottom, and click "Save all and close"

    If you are using out of the box SharePoint, then the setting will take a few minutes to a few hours to propagate to all SharePoint sites.
