Description T. Gries 2004-09-27 21:59:00 UTC 
Testing the 1.4 CVS version (new installations and update installations) I found
that the Interface Language in User Preferences was set (defaulted) to Africaans.

In my humble opinion fresh MediaWiki installations should come with a
"(uninstalled yet - please choose)" default interface language, proposed: English 

OR, better:

the interface language should be set automatically to the installation (content)
language.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2004-12-11 21:20:39 UTC 
The problem seems to have been with migration of preexisting accounts where
there was no 'language' option set in user_preferences; it loaded the wrong
language class as a result and didn't highlight the default language in prefs.
