## Description

Default language that is visible on User Settings page seems to be Deutsch (6.1.0. now, but I think it was the same on 5.x.) although English is in fact in use.

I’m having English as default OpenProject language, my browser definitely prioritizes English over Deutsch and as a result it seems that new users (admin + me as a test user) see all texts in English. But if I go to the User Settings page as one of these users the currently displayed Language is “Deutsch”. If I just save, my language is changed to Deutsch.

This is not any major problem, but a potential risk exists at least in a scenario where the admin would go and change some setting for a user without any intention to change his/her language. By pushing Save on the User Settings page the admin would accidentally change user’s language as well.
