After changing the language in the browser and saving it, the screen is refreshed and only the preferences are visible.
Where can I change the language back to English via SSH.

Thanks for reporting. The language can be changed in /etc/motioneye/motion.conf, then:

systemctl restart motioneye

I did some testing. There is a problem that only the backend translation is available, while the frontend translation file is completely missing: github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye@c9cb338
When selecting it, one lands on login screen but cannot login. Server log then says:

 WARNING: 404 GET /static/js/motioneye.nl.json

AFAIK, a template does the job already, even with all translations missing, in which case Esperanto will be used.

Not sure why I face the login screen while you don't, probably another thing in code changed in the meantime. I'll try to generate a frontend translation template Dutch.

Probably in such case we want to pull the default or Esperanto language file automatically? Or, not sure if weblate can be configured to always push files for frontend and backend when a new language is added, even if no translations are done in respective part.
