Topic: Login Interface Language Different from Preference

My language preference was set to English.  However, my default language was set to traditional Chinese.  All interfaces were displayed correctly in English except the Login interface which was in Chinese.  I expect the Login also uses English for the interface.

Goto Setup -> Install and Activate Languages

Here you marked the default language it might be Chinese you checked. Just change it to English and save it than logout and login to see the changes

Re: Login Interface Language Different from Preference

Yes, the default language was set to Chinese and the preferred language was set in English.  Only in this set up could Chinese characters be displayed correctly.  All UI would be displayed in English except the login screen.

If the default language was set to English even though the Chinese language had been installed, the Chinese characters would become question marks.

This should not be a cache issue as suggested by apmuthu.  I had logged in and out and rebooted the system.  The login screen was still in Chinese.  For me this is okay.  I just wonder why this happens.
