Audio is being transcribed in wrong language.

Issue:
I have been using the transcription feature for audio files for a while now for work to make first transcriptions of interviews. Usually no issue. Now Dropbox is transcribing an audio file in English (there might be one or two words in Afrikaans here and there but over 90% of the content is English) into a seemingly slavic language, probably polish, for some reason and there seems to be no feature to tell Dropbox to change the transcription language.
I saw some older, closed threads where people had the same issue with video transcripts but there it seemed to have been triggered by where they were based. My case is doubly strange, as the file is in English and I am based and currently using the feature from Switzerland. I checked and my VPN is not active and was not active at the time of transcribing.
Any fixes known?
Thanks

Hi there, Smaranzky, welcome to our Community!
Do you notice this type of behavior with all of your videos, or just some of them?
Can you use an entirely different browser, or incognito tab in order to see if the behavior remains the same there?
While you're at it, please make sure you clear the cache of the current browser, or disable any possible plugins, and check if there are any pending updates to be installed on your browser.
Lastly, could you please try moving the file to another folder before regenerating the transcript in question?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
