Hello,
I'm aware of this issue but, honestly, I didn't pay too much attention to it, since Qt chooses one of the languages the user has set up. I expect the users to set languages they're able to understand in their systems. And I have no idea by what key Qt actually chooses the language to use in the application.
However, if this behavior is a problem to you, I'll look into fixing it some future release.

Just wanted to note that I just had the same problem - and do NOT have French (or any language except English) set in system preferences.

This is FedoraMediaWriter-osx-4.0.7.dmg on OSX 10.9.5.

Hasn't stopped me yet, I've just been typing things into Google Translate, but thought I'd report it.

Fix for this will come with 4.0.8
