Diego, 

    In most cases, the language isn't refreshed in IE or Netscape until you log 
out of the system and log back in. I have a setup as english as my default 
language, but certain users (in CR, btw) need in spanish. they weren't able to 
get it to stick until they logged out and logged back in. Note that if the 
logon page is defaulted to english, it will overwrite the selected language in 
the preferences. 


Cheers, 

Rodolfo
