Why does this implementation use French-suited cards?

Schnapsen is played with German-suited playing cards.

Because you can change the card style in the "hamburger" menu?

Depends on where you are from. Here in Vienna we use the French set almost exclusively.

I am somewhat puzzled by the other versions though:

The "Hungarian" version is known to me as "doppeldeutsch" (double-german) and is mainly used in Bavaria and the west of Austria. (PS:A quick search revealed that both designs are very similar).

The "German" version is something I have literally never seen before?!
