Metamask-extension: Options for change language

[tamsamani]

there no option to change language?
I'am using english language on my laptop and browser, but in my region (North Africa) used French as default instead, so, the extension comes with french language as default and there no option to change language.

Add Option for change Language or make it followed by Browser primary language
sometime user need change language but still want use multiple language during browsing, so I think if we add a option for change language of extension is better than try to choose primary user language.

@tamsamani there is an option to change the language in the extension's Settings menu, but the menu isn't reachable from the onboarding flow.

This relates to https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/issues/5589, which calls for access to the settings menu even when logged out. Perhaps also need access to the settings menu during onboarding, or at least the language portion

Add Option for change Language or make it followed by Browser primary language

This should be the case—we default to whatever locale the browser is using and allow users to change the locale after the onboarding:

In the situation you're describing, the browser is returning a different language to us than it is set to? What is your browser version and how did you set the language? Maybe there's something we're missing on our end?

@tamsamani I experienced exactly the same situation and found that Metamask defaults to the first language installed in chrome. I was able to resolve this by moving the desired language to the top in Chrome settings. I did have to reinstall the extension, but it worked as expected after that.

that worked! Thank you fsiddiqi!
