EA app changed language of The Sims 4?

So my games have reappeared now in the EA app after disappearing. Only to find that when i launch my game, it launches in Dutch. I've always played the English version, so my saves are there as well....

    @Nibbo0w  Please switch the language within Origin: open your game library, right-click on the Sims 4 icon, select Game Properties > Advanced Launch Options, and choose English from the menu.  Origin should switch things back for you, and then you can go back to using the EA App.

    The "De Sims 4" folder is normal—Dutch is one of four languages that has a localized user folder rather than naming it "The Sims 4."

To change language you need to uninstall the game and when you reinstall choose the language you want. You may need to also install the EA app in that language.

Wasn't the reason for switching from origin to EA app "upgrade"? Why would we redownload the whole game over 50 GB each time just for the language change? Origin offered us the possibility to change languages without re-downloading the whole game. The ea app also needs to offer this

Many people, including me, use the game to learn and practice foreign languages. It happens that I switch between languages several times in a month. Taking a step back in this way has hurt many users&players. Hope to fix it soon
