I have a Slide Master with a textbox for the title and another textbox below. Both of the textboxes are set to use English (U.S.).

Whenever I create a new slide based on that master, the language of the textboxes is Spanish (Argentina).

Is it expected that the language of textboxes in a Slide Master is not kept in slides?

Is there any way of changing this behavior?

New slides seem to assume the language that the entire presentation's set to, regardless of the language of the placeholders on the masters/layouts.

Then in some versions, PPT may change the language based on your keyboard (ie, windows settings). That's controlled by Options | Advanced | Automatically switch keyboard ...etc. Try removing the checkmark there.
