Here's the logic I'm basing this on: I go to Horde and the login screen
comes up in English (the default, in this case). Let's say I select French
and log in. Later on, either my session expires and I'm logged out
automatically, or I log out manually. Now I'm presented with an English
login page again, even though I've already specified my language preference
as being French. If you passed the language preference variable when
logging a user out, the login page would see it as though a selection from
the language drop-down had been made, and would display itself in that
language. I don't believe that It would make the login page inconsistent,
because if no language variable was passed, or if it was the default one,
then it would appear in the default language. I'm not suggesting that the
language selection be preserved for subsequent accesses, either; just the
current one. In my group, we use Horde all day on our desktop computers,
and rarely is the browser window closed. Those who prefer to work in French
have set their language preference in Horde, but that doesn't affect the
language of the login page, and you can't select two defaults so that the
greeting is bilingual (I think).
