PLEASE present the game language!

Why is the language a game is being played in no longer automatically part of the table presentation? In the last couple of days, I've had to ask to abandon games at least three times because I didn't realize until after the game had started that it was in a language other than English. (In the last game I had to abandon, another player had the same issue as me.) Since Decrypto is a word game, the language is obviously absolutely essential information. I'm not a developer, and I don't mean to undervalue the work that goes into putting a game on BGA, but simply requiring the game language to be part of the table presentation can't be that hard. BGA admins, please make this modest change. Thank you in advance!

This is so incredibly annoying. For not just Decrypto but for all word games (Just One, Hardback, etc.) this problem makes it basically impossible to join any turn-based tables. I always just create a new table using the old lobby, rather than risk joining some table which is not explicitly listed as "English".

on a similar note PLEASE allow users to set their preferred default language.
It KEEPS reseting to Dutch while I prefer English.
Every time I load the page or refresh, it resets to Dutch. Stop reseting it to Dutch.
