The settings UI has already a setting for spoofing English when RFP is enabled.
However, when RFP is enabled but spoof English is disabled, it might be a good idea also to reset intl.accept_languages to its default value when the user changes their app language, otherwise it will be possible to detect a difference between the accepted languages and the app language (e.g., through the formatting API).
Downstream for Tor Browser we are considering even stricter approaches, such as showing only the spoof English checkbox in the "Website Language Settings" modal and forcing intl.accept_languages to its default value when spoof English is disabled.
