Retrieve data in the language used during data collection

Since KoboToolbox does not re-send a POST request when a submission is edited, and subsequently resubmitted, we have been using the following URL to retrieve data manually after an edit:

https://eu.kobotoolbox.org/api/v2/assets/{form_id}/data/{submission_id}.json

On initial submission, KoboToolbox makes a POST request containing the data in JSON format, in the language that was used during the data collection.

When retrieving the data via the above URL, however, the data will always use the default language. Is there a way to retrieve data in the original language used to fill it in?

This happens because KoBoToolbox (and ODK in general) doesn’t actually have a “table” question type.
Can you share the excel?
