Hello,
I have two languages on my Drupal 6 installation, English and French, each assigned to a URL prefix (en and fr). As a user, I log into http://myhost/drupal6/
The interface is in the language I chose (say, French).
I go to my account, then change my default language from French to English. Then, instead of returning to http://myhost/drupal6/user/2/edit , I am redirected to http://myhost/drupal6/fr/user/2/edit .

Is this normal?

Thanks,
David

Well, it might not be intended indeed. It is logical however in that the redirection happens to go the page you were before the form submission, which was a French version of the page.

Once again, this happens because you changed your default language, so now the French has a path prefix, and you are directed back to where you were.

Is there any workaround so that the user is redirected to his/her default language selected in the profile edit form even though the url has path prefix of the previous url redirection. I have the same issue and I tried to redirect the user to his/her default language by over getting the redirection url (removing the fr from the prefix) and then used drupal_goto() function that gives me the error that page is redirectly incorrectly.

I have solved this issue please see http://drupal.org/node/1269640, the code only works for language negotiation set to path prefix with fallback.
