Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the settings persistence logic. Look for where language preference is saved (e.g., localStorage.setItem) and loaded (localStorage.getItem). Trace the app initialization to ensure the loaded preference is applied. Check if there is any conditional that might skip saving or loading.
