Issue

  • Access to the portal with a user who has a different language set up than the default configured.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.2

Resolution

  • Liferay will show the portal in the language configured in its settings. Even if the user logged in has a different one. i.e: If "Spanish" is the default language and you log in with a user who has the "English" language configured, the portal will be displayed in Spanish.

Additional Information

  • Additionally, an informative message will show up at the bottom of the browser suggesting to change the user prefered language to the one configured for the portal.
