I downloaded, installed and started qBittorrent Portable 2.9.11. I opened the Options dialogue, changed the language to Russian, clicked Apply button, and closed the dialogue.
I saw that only the column headings and elements in the sidebar changed into Russian. I closed the program and re-started it. The interface remained in English and language settings were not saved.
Could anybody help?

A restart of qBittorrent is required for all parts of the UI (like menus) to change to a new language. I was able to open, switch to Russian, close and then reopen qBittorrent Portable and everything was in Russian. Are you using it with the PortableApps.com Platform? In that case, it will automatically switch to whatever language you have the platform set to.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
The second sentence in the second paragraph clearly states: "I closed the program and re-started it."
And I installed the program on my hard drive.

1) I removed version 2.9.11
2) I downloaded and installed version 2.9.2
3) I started version 2.9.2 and changed the language to Russian
4) I closed version 2.9.2 and when I re-started it, everything was in Russian
5) I installed version 2.9.11 over version 2.9.2 and when I opened the program, the GUI was back in English
6) I changed the language to Russian again and closed the program
7) When I re-started the program, everything was in English!
I can come to the single possible conclusion that there is a bug in version 2.9.11. Now I re-installed version 2.9.2.

You still didn't answer if you are using the PortableApps.com Platform or not. And, as I said, I can close and re-open it in Russian without issue on my Windows 7 box. So something else may be up.

I don't install the platform on my hard drive. I made a folder on my hard drive and install several portable applications there.

Any language option you choose, not recorded. Upon restart, appears the default language [English]. But v2.9.2 worked perfectly.
As the member George Yves has stated clearly, the error occurs in the standalone version. In the platform the app works flawlessly. In the meantime I have found a solution and will offer them in about 2 hours.
During uninstalling of the app in the platform also occurs an error message (content of the message: Uninstalling of qBittorrent Portable not possible), although it is actually removed.
I have revised the faulty version of qBittorrent Portable 2.9.11. This revised version now works correctly in both the platform as well as a standalone version. Here is the Downloadlink: qBittorrentPortable 2.9.11 Rev 2. Please test it and report your results.
I solved this language problem through the following Alterations in the file qBittorrentPortable.ini:
I changed the value of %PortableApps.comLocaleglibc% by the value %PAL:LanguageCustom%.
In addition I have added a new section :
Only for 2 languages (hy_AM and ka_GE) I found no appropriate language variable value.
As I mentioned in my previous post, it's impossible to uninstall the app in the Platform as is usual. It's necessary, that I remove the folder qBittorrentPortable manually.
I'm updating it now, will send a fix to John shortly.
[EDIT] Fix sent.
Your fix works as it should.
May the FOSS be with you!
Yeah, it works!
