[horde] Language selection on the login screen

[Gunnar Wrobel]

Hi!

Yesterday a few of the devs discussed the language selection on the  
login screen. The bottom line was that this selection only takes  
effect if the user did not set the language in the preferences.

I also received a short tweet by someone wondering about the language  
selection on demo.horde.org. He selected "English" and got French text.

Now I thought that it makes sense to lock the "language" preference on  
demo.horde.org so that the login selection always holds. But when I do  
that the language selection is no longer displayed on the login screen.

Is there another workaround?

And usability-wise I still wonder if it makes any sense to prominently  
place a language selection on the first screen the user sees if this  
has no effect whatsoever in case the user set his language preference.  
Wouldn't it make more sense to offer the language selection as a login  
task in case it has not been set yet?

Cheers,

Gunnar
