Language metadata gets reset to English after editing a post #280
Description
Activity
Thanks for copying that over. Off the top of my head, this happens because we include the
langparameter every time we publish or update a post, which passes along the browser's default language (which is likely English in this user's case).The fix should be simple: in
templates/pad.tmpl, only passlangwhen initially creating a post. When editing / updating a post, don't pass thelangparameter.Since this is pretty straightforward, this would be a great first task for anyone interested in contributing to WriteFreely!
Reacted by P. H. TANFor information, I write in french but all my apps and browser are setup in english.
It might be nice to have a choice in the "customize" page of a blog to leave it as-is or overide it to a language of our choice.Reacted by Matt BaerI have already written in the forum but it's been nearly year since this issue was reported. I think at this point it would be better if one of the active developers implemented this fix if it is so simple instead of waiting for a new contributor.

Steps to reproduce
Expected behavior
Post should keep the metadata language after edited, not revert to English.
