Background of the issue:
I am trying to get an email for "new customer order" in English when the customer orders on the English site, and a German one when the customer orders on the German site.

Symptoms:
I expected to see an English email or a German email, but instead, I got a mixed email with English and German language.

Questions:
How can I ensure that the order confirmation emails are sent in the correct language based on the site language?
In the photo I uploaded, the customer from the United States placed the order on the English version of the website, and we received an email with mixed German/English text.

I tried to follow the instructions in the documentation you sent me but nothing changed.

Hi,

I'll continue to help you with this issue.

1. Are you referring to emails that are being sent to the site administrator?

2. If so, which admin language has the administrator user set in his profile (Users -> Profile)? Is it English or German?

3. Do you use any plugins that extend WooCommerce's regular emails?

Regards,
Itamar.
