"Other city" shown in kanji (all map styles)

Hi Guido & other Scenic users. I've just returned to Scenic Premium after 5 years or so on Android. Good to see all the improvements, excited to start using Scenic with my new Chigee carplay unit.

I have one issue to report: some cities are shown on my map (I use English mostly) in kanji. For instance: Delft. Playing around with custom map styles, it looks like these are the administrative units defined as "Other city". There are few in Spain as well: Albacete, for instance. I've deleted and reinstalled the Scenic app, but that doesn't help.

Have a look here: https://scenic.app/help/russian-chinese-arabic-cyrillic-labels-on-the-map/

Additionally, since v4.20 Scenic has a setting to always show the local language. Settings > Map Settings > Map Language.

If you're enjoying Scenic and are happy with the support, please leave a nice rating in the App Store. It would mean a lot to me ❤️

Yes! I have no idea how Japanese was added to my languages but that was indeed the problem. Thanks!
