Yes, that seems odd, and might explain why TeXworks defaults to French  
for you. (The default language is selected based on what Qt reports as  
the "system locale", but I don't know exactly how it determines that.)

I still can't figure out why it would ignore the Preferences setting,  
though, as that should override the system/default locale.
