Android biometrics login add additional non controlable text

I found out strange behaviour of Android Biometrics Login dialog. Android add additional text (which I don't even have in my app strings) which I cannot change. As you see on picture below when I try login to app using biometrics, there is one single text in english ("Touch the fingerprint sensor") while all app is in polish. It only happens when App Language != Device Language. In that case Android get that text matches the device language.

I checked it and it's not really problem of my app but I see that problem in every other app with biometrics login (part of them use device language for all that login dialog and rest app is in language I setup). There is an option to control it or remove?

OS version: Android 13 Phone: Pixel 6a

P.S. sorry for big bad quality picture but on Login View screenshoots doesn't work.

No, at least on older versions of Android. On Android 13 and higher, you could try switching to official app-specific language support and see if that helps at least get the proper translation in there.
