No worries! Would you be able to share a snippet of the code? Hopefully looking at it might clue me in to the issue.

No worries! I will try to help as I'm able. There's a pretty good chance my code has become outdated, but let's see what we can figure out!
So according to this renpy documentation page,
renpy.change_language(language, force=False) Changes the current language to language, which can be a string or None to use the default language.
Have you changed "language" (the brackets) to the new language on that menu?
Oh hey! Thanks for reaching out! I had to put some of my social media on lockdown, so I know that's a bit confusing to work around, though I am slowly working on a new version of the site.
somestrangecircus contributed to the ADVaNCE zine's "Kinetic Corner," but I don't recognize the piece that you've linked. I'll look around and let you know if I find anything just in case I'm forgetting.
Also wow, 2 years already? Gosh I'm behind on stuff I wanted to post here, lol.
Anyway I think I found the post I was thinking of:

I think you could use the same script bit currently included before the menu, just edit it a bit so that it's after the game starts but before the story begins and take out the
renpy.utter_restart()
and/or add it to the "options" menu. It may take some tweaking. If I recall correctly I saw something similar on lemmasoft forums, I'll check my bookmarks for you.
From what I can tell it wasn't there until after a scene with the fireflies and moves in the same patterns so I figured there was a code issue. I think dust would float down rather than moving quickly and erratically. But I could be wrong. One of my games (also made in Ren'Py ) uses something similar for insects and snow so I may be overthinking it.
This has been such a wonderful experience. I noticed that after I loaded the game for my second play session, it seems like the remnants of the firefly animation is stuck on the screen no matter what background. I tried to catch a gif, if you look closely you should see the movements. It's not terrible, but it is a bit distracting. I figure it must be some sort of code issue so wanted to let you know.
Hey! I hope you enjoy your time with VNs! So the nice thing is that there is a good variety of engines and tools to make Visual Novels. I use Ren'Py for most projects, but I've also used Fungus and Visual Novel Maker. There are also tools for GameMaker Studio. Thecommunity for Ren'Py is really helpful for trying out making VNs, no matter what engine or tools you use. Good luck! :)
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Hello! I'm Morgana/Morgi/Mystery Corgi!
I can't actually program in anything other than Ren'Py and my boss will kill me if I participate in the Jam by making a game. (So much work to do!) :P So instead I'm going to contribute assets! I'm marking my fonts down for free because I'm so inspired by this jam. I will also probably contribute some pixel art.
