Research direction
Investigate the language setting storage mechanism in Focalboard. Likely found in webapp/src/i18n.tsx or similar i18n configuration files. Check if the language preference is saved to localStorage and retrieved on startup. Look for existing usage of localStorage for other settings for reference. Review any linked comments for additional clues.
