Language gets directly changes to English after login without any choice. about p5.js-web-editor HOT 6 CLOSED

Hmmm...I'm not sure if this is a problem or if it's doing what it's supposed to do? When you log it will change to the language from your account preferences. In your video that was English.

It does not always change to English when logging in -- it happens to do so in this example because English is the language that you were last using when you logged out.

Let's say that I'm logged in and I change my preferences to Spanish. Then I log out and I change it to French. Then I log in. The language will be Spanish because that is the language associated with my account.

I was reading about this issue and was thinking whether we would proceed with changing it so the language stays the same before login session rather than storing it as a language associated with the account?

I think, it is not good from user-experience of non-technical user perspective.

We can solve this issue as follows:

Saving the selected language preference in local storage when a user is logged out and then syncing that preference to the backend upon login.

If this approach is right, I am interested to work on it, please assign it to me.

@lindapaiste I just need your confirmation to start working on this issue because I have already figured out how to do this.

I agree with @lindapaiste. This works as intended. Languages should be tied to the last preference of a specific account. Multiple users can be using the same computer with different accounts (say, in a school computer lab) so keeping languages tied to account preferences is the way to go.

I think that's how I'm feeling so far here as well. I'm not sure if this is something we might want to consider in the near future so I'm going to close this for now, but am down to reopen this if more interest in this issue resurfaces!
