mythfrontend language settings?
I noticed something strange this morning. I was running mythfrontend on my
Raspberry PI 4 and noticed that the main page showed "Information Centre"
and "Programme Guide". My production backend is on Ubuntu 22.04 on a
x86_64 PC and all its frontends show "Center" and "Program" as I expect.

Where is the setting to control what I assume is GB English vs. American
English?

I found it. mythfrontend -> Setup -> Appearance -> Localization ->
Language. Mine was set for English (UK). I changed to English (US).

Sorry for the noise.

It isn't noise. Others may benefit from your query and result.

Personally, I would expect that language selections in the backend (= database) would automatically
carry over to frontends unless otherwise overridden.

This test setup was on a RPI4 using my instructions from the MythTV forum (
https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=4799) and I don't remember
ever having a Language setting while setting the backend up. Since I've
been setting up MythTV for ~10 years, I do so much on automatic, I may have
missed it. But at least now I know where to fix it.
