Hey, I had the same issue and variations of it (french category titles, german content and english menus). Also Swiss German with English setup. I actually managed to solve it with some unintuitive language settings.
// Edit:
Okay so the issue can be resolved as follows (Windows 10):
Windows Settings -> Time & Language -> Language -> Preferred Languages -> Order it so that "English (United States)" is at the top
I previsouly had "English (Switzerland)" at the top. This order influences the "Apps & websites" setting at the top there.
With "English (Switzerland)" my section headings in the Store were French, e.g. "Films et TV" but with "English (United States)" at the top I get "Movies & TV". Of course the section headings, callouts, etc. otherwise are still a mixture of your MS Store region (German in my case) and the Windows display language (English in my case).
Why "English (Switzerland)" would result in French... I don't know.
