@Fdeveloper,

This can sometimes happen when using SSO, especially if the property "glide.ui.login.language.select" is enabled which would default to the Instance's system default language,

There's a few things that can be checked:

  • You can look at including the language in the SSO payload - might not be very easy as it depends on your specific SSO set up. Sometimes a Country can be used to infer the language.
  • Check to see if that property is enabled and look to disable it to see if it addresses your issue
  • Add a language switcher widget to your portal

It could also be a few other things, but these would be the first things I would check,

Many thanks,
kind regards

Hi @Fdeveloper,

Were you able to find a solution for this. I am facing the exact same issue. 

Thanks!
