PayPal donation links need a fixed language

I have recently found out that all users trying to donate to me via buttons and links on the Nexus are getting a German login and donation page on PayPal instead of the one in either their own language or English.

 

My PayPal account is set to be German (for multiple reasons). Some of the donors have mentioned to me that they didn't know what to do because they can't read German, and there's no visible language toggle on PayPal's donation page.

Now it would be logical if the donation page was either in the donor's own language, or always fixed at English. However this is not the case - English, Russian, German, French people are all getting my German login and donation page.

 

Looking into the API for PayPal's donation buttons, I've found out that a possible fix would be forcing everyone's site to English via including this parameter on the HTML button:

<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="en_US">

Thanks for any help, thoughts or fixes. :smile:
