Application language
Here, you can select the application language independently from the system setting. You can choose between "Default", "English" and "German". To make the change effective, you must press the following button.
For newer Android versions, you can select the app language in the system settings. If you do that, the value "Default" should be set as the language.

When in maximum size, the app bar shows a description below each button shape. In the case of overlay panes, commands for all subsequent panes are displayed here after a horizontal line, so that you can reach all subsequent panes directly. After another horizontal line, special commands may be displayed for the respective pane.
