This is an issue with how the original game handles raw text in different parts of the game, for example, in the pause menu, LCD screen messages, and hint fly messages. The game stores text in the executable instead of a separate file, and that's also why the original game doesn't have a setting in the options to change the language. R.E.L.I.V.E. is based on the english GOG version, so you'll have english strings but still the correct language for cams and sounds because they are stored in separate files and not in the executable. It is planned to allow switching the text language in the future, but it's a lot of effort because the game has multiple font images that aren't the same in different languages, and there's also work being done on many other things.

Indeed it's not that big of a problem and can wait after more important updates.
Thanks for the quick answer !
