Re: 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
