Is DNN too cookie dependent when it comes to localization?

For example, I have a site whose default language is set to Spanish.  A user logs in to the site whose personal localization is set to English.  That user logs out, but the cookie is still set to English for that site.  Anyone viewing that site from the same machine will see it as English.  The only way to reset it to Spanish is to delete the cookie, or have some other user log in to that site on the same machine whose personal localization is set to Spanish.

Is it necessary to have this value stored in the cookie?  Should this value be cleared from the cookie when the user logs out?

Are you sure this is the usual behaviour "Anyone viewing that site from the same machine will see it as English" ? I think the cookies are defined per user not per machine.

Maybe the problem is the user language preferences setup on the browser (in IE look under Tools - Options - General Tab - Languages.

Actually the cookies are not defined per user, only per machine. This is because the cookies only have real function for anonymous users.
 
Of course, the usage of cookies for language selection should be more granular. For instance, a portal admin should be able to choose whether to use cookies at all, or anonymous language selection for that matter.
 
I'd be willing to do some modifications in this area and present those to you Vincenç...

Erik,

I think, there is a misunderstanding of Vicenc's post: most OS/browsers store cookies per machine user and per site, so only  anonymous users on public PCs may run into the previously described situation using the same cookie - when the second one visites a DNN site, another user looked at before. This might be an occuring problem for (regionally) very popular sites.

I see the major problem with language detection from the browser, as many international sites currently support only one (non-english) language and a visitor with en-US setting in his browser (maybe he just did not change installation default) sees an English framework, even if the portal admin disabled en-US for the portal. IMHO this needs to be fixed in the next release!

Cheers from Germany,

Sebastian,
 
Thank you for that clarification. I think unconsiously i assumed the usage of a public pc, and in that case the cookie would be used for different anonymous users.
 
I agree the automatic language detection should not be mandatory. One (previously discussed) solution would be to add a checkbox "Fixed" in the language setting of the portal settings, indicating that that language should always be used.  A nicer solution would be if on a per portal basis a portal admin could control the usage of the automatic language discovery...
 
cheers,
