Introduction

The available languages (locales) and how the interface language is chosen are configured as described in the Bare.ID manual.
For further details, see the relevant chapter of the handbook.
Users can select from the available languages in the login form and the account console.

1 How the login language is determined

The language for the login form is selected by following a defined order rather than at random.
Bare.ID evaluates different sources in sequence and uses the first applicable setting:

1. User selected – if someone chooses a language via the drop‑down on the login page, it is used immediately.
   
2. User profile – for signed‑in users, the preferred locale stored in the user account is applied.
   
3. Client requested – applications can specify a preferred locale via the OIDC parameter
