Transcribe ignores Dutch as selected language and sets it to German (Deutsch)

I'm on 24.0.3

Before Dutch as selected langauge worked fine. Now whatever I do fails. It's always switching to German.

Start a new project, select the clips with the interviews and set the langauage to Dutch, and let it transcribe: result is in German.

Manually create an empty project, basic settings for language are Dutch. Try transcribe: German!

Adobe has messed something up here. Also I would love a menu pop up for "re-transcribe" or a "Delete transcription."

@l_e_x_y_,

A screenshot of the "create transcription" dialogue with the language selection would help.

I assume you are using autotranscription?

To troubleshoot, create a new test project and turn autotranscription off. Import one clip. In the Project Panel, right-click and pick Transcribe. That will give you the language for transcription of that clip. Does it give you Danish? Does the Danish show with a cloud download icon next to it? Is the transcription in Danish?

There is a re-transcribe option. Select a transcribed clip in the Project Panel, right-click, and pick re-transcribe. Or open the clip in the Source Monitor, switch to the Text panel/Transcript tab, 3 dot menu, re-transcribe.
