Can you change the language of the notation?

So, it seems that the PC version of chess.com uses your national language for the chess notation. For example, for me, instead of Bc4, the notation says Sc4 (Střelec instead of Bishop).

However, I'm more used to the English notation. Plus, the mobile app uses English in the notation. I'd like to change the notation to English, but I don't see an option to do so in the settings. Anybody know how to do that, or if it's even possible?

It should use the language configured in your settings.

Great point. I wish they added a setting on the Web version to choose from: English notation; Figurine notation; UI-language notation. It's present on the Android app, but it's still missing on the Web version.

I changed computers. My language is still set to English, but the piece notation is suddenly in some other language. Support hasn't been helpful so far.
