SWWDHEX starts a French workflow

Hello Paul,
Why don't you cancel the existing workflow and start a new one manually in SWUE with the same key field and see if that fixes the issue?
I was also wondering if the language issue for the deadline job might be fixed if a new user who's logged in 'EN' and have the proper authorization run the automatic customizing in SWU3.
