Not able to change the language of the interface

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • Edit > Preferences > Interface > Language (require restart) --> Select another one (I tried French and Spanish)
  • Close the Preferences dialog
  • close Inkscape
  • start Inkscape

What happened?

Interface is still in English (it is the system language)

What should have happened?

The inteface should have switched to my selected language
