@JewelWing Have had the same issue, EA App has always been in English for me.

Are you using Windows 10 or 11? I'm using 11, but am also using Avast.

I checked Avast and the Windows Defender settings as well, neither Windows or Avast have updated either, but I encountered the same issue with launching the game, getting the "File or Directory is damaged or unreadable" error and then the same permission error with the repair too.
