I’ve recently had to change my paypal account that was reciving payments for my products.
Problem is it also changed language of payment forms (1st paypal website you see after filling s2member proform)
Our customer from USA reported the website he sees at paypal is in polish language. We dont want our customers to be confused – how to change it ? In account panel every language setting i;ve managed to find is set to english yet for customers in US it is displayed in polish. Any idea what setting might change this ?

Theres actually some threads about this issue in these forums.
Your best approach is to use the s2hack and add some custom php to it like discussed in this thread:

Thanks for your inquiry. ~ We appreciate your patience :-)

Please see: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Shortcode Attributes (Explained)

lc="" Optional 2 character Locale Code ( i.e. Country Code ). This controls the interface language used if/when a Customer chooses PayPal® Express Checkout as their payment method. If unspecified, the language is determined by PayPal® Express Checkout when possible, defaulting to US english when not possible.
The following two-character country codes are supported by PayPal:
AU - Australia
AT - Austria
BE - Belgium
CA - Canada
CH - Switzerland
CN - China
DE - Germany
ES - Spain
GB - United Kingdom
FR - France
IT - Italy
NL - Netherlands
PL - Poland
US - United States

Don’t be too surprised if PayPal does not ALWAYS obey what you define here. Especially if the customer has visited PayPal® in the past. PayPal stores a cookie on their computer that remembers their last language option. I’ve also seen PayPal display the UI in a language based on a location determined via the customer’s IP address.
