This this is managed differently now |
Currently some of the settings are stored in /settings/{category} where category is both an end user name (in the message catalog) and a key in the preference store. Conceptually there should be a separate id and user name. Practically this may not be a big deal. It means that if the user switched languages, all their settings would be lost. If "current language" is somehow one of those settings, then maybe this is a problem. cc'ing Gosia for comment, as I'm not sure this is important for 1.0 but it will become an issue at some point.
