Just FYI, this is controlled by the ATM itself and your language choice isn’t stored nor passed onto your bank.

I'm not sure if this has changed, but I remember a Chase(?) ATM asking me if I wanted to save the setting.

Maybe it's not a thing anymore?

If you had a Chase card they could use some proprietary way of saving the language, but for other banks there's no standard way of saving the language (on the card for example), so the only solution is for the ATMs to maintain an online (since you're unlikely to return to the same ATM) mapping of card numbers to languages, and that would bring a huge liability.

Chase has a bunch of ATM settings you can configure in the web app. Auto printing receipts without a prompt is one of them.
