Peter, the language in any of the mobile apps are updated by changing your device language. You'll have to go to the device settings to change the language across the whole device, and that setting will be read by the app as well.

Actually that's only half the story.

The official Docs on this explain pretty good how it works.

There are 2 things that the app language is dependent on:

1. your device language - like Cecil mentioned. This will just affect the language of the default navigation in the app. See Screenshots in the Docs linked above.

2. The server/instance language: this will affect the language of the rest of the UI e.g. Applet names. It is set by the localization rules of your instance e.g. if the user has set a preferred language. You have to add translations for this like you would do for Web/Desktop.
