You can just set the Switch language to False.
In instapy.py

make

self.switch_language = False

Which script in the instapy folder contains this function? And also which method in that script?

Possible solution
just comment on lines: login_until.py

if switch_language:
browser.find_element_by_xpath(
"//footer[@class='_s5vm9']/div[@class='_g7lf5 _9z659']/nav["
"@class='_luodr']/ul[@class='_g8wl6']/li[@class='_538w0'][10]/"
"span[@class='_pqycz _hqmnd']/select[@class='_fsoey']/option"
"[text()='English']").click()

it will work

i did to, turned out all you have to add is sleep(1) before the input_username part in login_util.py.

# Enter username and password and logs the user in # Sometimes the element name isn't 'Username' and 'Password' # (valid for placeholder too) sleep(1) input_username = browser.find_elements_by_xpath( "//input[@name='username']")
