Setting default interface language for user accounts

Hi Elmarie,

I suspect this problem came from another issue - previously in the “add new user” screen, the “interface language” property was not set to English as it is supposed to be, but rather Arabic which is the first item in the list.

This item was fixed some time ago in 2.22, so please upgrade. You will have to set the locale to English either manually or through a script for existing accounts where the problem exists.

regards,

Lars

Subject: Setting default interface language for user accounts

Hi all,

We have an issue on 2.22 which is fairly new to us since most of our instances are still running on older war files.

We have activated self-registration for users and once we open the user account or users log in they all complain that everything is in Arabic.

It is clear from the user account that Arabic is currently set to the default interface language. Where does one set the default interface language you want to use for an instance so that it doesn’t default to the first on the list ie. Arabic?

Your help would be appreciated.
