Hi again!  I dug around, and discovered you should be able to do this:

  flatpak config --set extra-languages "XX;YY;ZZ;..."
  flatpak update

Where "XX", "YY", etc. are 2-letter locale codes (e.g., "he" for Hebrew,
"es" for Spanish, etc.)

That will install, among other things, an "org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint.Locale"
package.

Then, you can run, e.g.:

  flatpak run org.tuxpaint.Tuxpaint --fullscreen=no --lang=hebrew

I think I need to add this stuff to an FAQ! :)
