Setting `session.props.locale` in the Designer does not set the locale of running sessions on start because that setting is set at the project level:

The `session.props.locale` property allows for _changing_ the locale at runtime. So you have three options:

1. Change the project-wide setting to force all sessions to open as a certain locale.
2. Change your browser to the locale you want to use.
3. Allow for sessions to set their own locale by supplying some sort of input (Dropdown is common) which is bidirectionally bound to the `session.props.locale` property.
