OK, I have finally grasped what's going on, and reproduced the  
behavior you're describing.

I believe you'll find that (when the region format is French),  
TeXworks will still respect other choices in Preferences (try setting  
the interface to German, for example). But if it is set to the default  
"English", it will actually launch in French. Changing the Prefs to a  
different language, and then back to English, you'll get the English  
interface -- but only temporarily, until you quit. On next launch it  
will again be French.

I'll fix this now that I understand it! Sorry it's taken me so long.

Mexican/Spanish? :-) Oh, we don't have that localization yet....
