Let me turn off translation in mobile app

Hello! I use eBay mostly via browser. But recently I tried to do it via iOS app. And that automatic forceful translation based on my location is a very bad experience. You translate brand names!!! C’mon, is that a joke? All the goods list looks like a chinese online shop that went through Google Translate. Can I have my eBay in the default english, please? Regardless of where I live (Russia, if you ask). Or can I have the goods’ naming not translated at least? Thank you.

Thank you for posting. We have some good news, we will be adding an option to turn these off in the next release. If you would like to email us at iosfeedback@ebay.com we can get you into our beta program to try it out before it is released.
