Public bug reported:

The logic in charge of selecting the lang for the message does not work as expected.
The condition:

if ($lang = get_account_preference($user->id, 'lang')) {
            // The user has a preset lang preference so we will use this
        }
        else if ($this->lang != 'default') {
            // The user hasn't been added yet, so we have to manually use this institution's lang
            $lang = $this->lang;
        }
        else {
            $lang = get_user_language($user->id);
        }

gets always sent in english if the site default lang is french.

To reproduce it:
You set another language than english as default language. You an institution with default lang and then you add a user (his lang preference is not setting) into this institution. He is going to receive an english message in that case and also in the case that the institution language is explicitly set to the additional lang.

That is corrected with the following:

$lang = get_account_preference($user->id, 'lang');

        if ($lang == 'default') {
            // The user has not a preset lang preference so we will use the institution if it has one.
            $institution_lang = get_record_sql(
              "SELECT value FROM {institution_config} ic where ic.institution= ? and ic.field = 'lang' ",
              [$this->name],
              IGNORE_MULTIPLE
            );
            $this->lang = $institution_lang->value? $institution_lang->value: 'default';
            if ($this->lang != 'default') {
                // The user hasn't been added yet, so we have to manually use this institution's lang
                $lang = $this->lang;
            }
            else {
                $lang = get_config('lang')? get_config('lang'): '';
            }
        }
