Description

When you ask your admin to create a new course, using course/request.php, if the admin is agree, the course is created in english, not in the default language.
If admin forgot to change this, it's not really funny for people who don't speak english.

Can't the course created using course/request.php be in default site language ?

I'm not quite sure what you mean "in english" ... I would assume the course language is not set, which means the course appears in the user's language or site language. Are you saying the course language is forced to the admin's language?

Hi, and sorry for the long time : my first son just brith sunday !

I mean that the course is created in English, not in user / site / admin or default language.
Admin in french, user in french, default site language in french -> and course is created in english.

When course/pending.php creates the new record in mdl_course, lang is not set, so it defaults to MySQL default value, i.e. en_utF8.
So editing of the course (called by redirect ('course/edit.php?id=xxx) by course/pending.php displays the form in english.

I fixed it in Moodle 1.72 by adding the following at line 46 of course/pending.php :

46,48d41
//PP set default language to site default, otherwise will be set to en_utf8 (MySQL default value)
// and first editing will be in english
$course->lang=$CFG->lang;

Cheers.
