    I have a site with English and French language installed. The admin has a default locale set to English, so the admin side will be in English even when editing a Localized French page. If I edit a text/HTML module, this is fine - in English, I highlight some text and click the link button to add a hyperlink, and the dialog is now showing in French - is there any way to prevent this please?

        As the Editor you see (CKEditor) is a separate component, it can be that it loads the language file for FR independently of DNN settings. (I never noticed this before, but it does not sound unlogical).
        I guess you did not install the French DNN language pack? If you did I would uninstall it.
        I would guess your next option is to remove the French language pack from the editor (?)

        Providers\HtmlEditorProviders\DNNConnect.CKE\js\ckeditor\4.5.3\lang

        But I'm not sure if that will work or it will fallback to English if you do that TBH.
