Hi.

I just upgraded from 5.x to 6.8, which went pretty well -- except for one thing: The users' preferred language on the My Account page isn't honored anymore. I use Norwegian Nynorsk as the default language, with English also available. Whichever language I set as default on the admin/settings/language page is forced on all users regardless of their settings.

Any clues on what is wrong here?

Language management has changed between D5 and D6. Now user preferences only apply to emails in some language negotiation modes. It is now much more flexible and clean, but you will need to adapt your site to your needs (notably create prefix and/or domains for each language).

Please also see #282178: Language negotiation overhaul for a discussion on the way forward to overcome limitations of the new system.

The patch in #1 on #335699: Language negotiation "language fallback" only fixes this issue. Now I don't need to break my urls by adding language to them.
