Environment

Windows build number:
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0

Windows Terminal version (if applicable):
1.0.1401.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Install Windows Terminal on English Windows 10, where the system language is English but in Control Panel -> Region -> Formats, the Format is set to "French (France)".
The result is that the interface is in French, meaning all prompts, the menu on the down-arrow icon on top bar and all screens launched from it, all is in French.

Expected behavior

The interface language should be in English, like the rest of the system.
You should be checking the Windows keyboard layout language, to decide on the language to use for the interface, not the formats.

Actual behavior

The interface language is in French rather than English.
