Issue Description

I'm changing the language from my features by using the language in the specflow.json as shown here. The tests run fine and the keywords are correctly picked. This is my .feature file:

Funcionalidade: Calculator
![Calculator](https://specflow.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/calculator.png)
Simple calculator for adding **two** numbers

Link to a feature: [Calculator]($projectname$/Features/Calculator.feature)

@mytag
Cenario: Adiciona dois números
	Dado que o primeiro número é 50
	E o segundo número é 70
	Quando os dois números são adicionados
	Entao o resultado esperado deve ser 120

Running the LivingDoc tool doesn't respect the language defined. I see in the docs here that it doesn't say anything about reading the specflow.json, so is this the expected behavior? What would be the recommended way of changing the language for everything (features and LivingDoc) globally?

This is the command I'm running:

dotnet livingdoc test-assembly SpecFlowCalculator.Specs.dll -t TestExecution.json

This is the error I get:

As a workaround, specifying the language again in my .feature file makes it work as expected, but is repetitive.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Define a specflow.json with the contents shared here.
2. Change the language globally from en-us to anything else.
3. Try to use the LivingDoc tool to generate the documentation

Tbh, I am not even sure anymore that we look into the app.config to get the language.

Tbh, I am not even sure anymore that we look into the app.config to get the language.

I'm using a specflow.json, are they the same thing?
