What is the correct order of language priority from highest to lowest?

• A. Language option chosen at Confluence login screen > Language preferred in user profile > Language set in browser > Default language for your site
• B. Language preferred in user profile > Language option chosen at Confluence login screen > Language set in browser > Default language for your site
• C. Language set in browser > Language preferred in user profile > Language option chosen at Confluence login screen > Default language for your site
• D. Default language for your site > Language preferred in user profile > Language option chosen at Confluence login screen > Language set in browser

Answer: (B)

Language resolution in Confluence prioritizes the user’s saved preference above session and environment cues, with sensible fallbacks if nothing is set. The highest priority is the language stored in the user’s profile, since that represents the user’s persistent choice across sessions and devices. If there’s no profile-based setting, the language chosen at the Confluence login screen acts as a session-level override for that login. If neither of these is defined, the browser’s language setting is used as a hint to tailor the interface for that user. Finally, if none of the above provides a language, the system falls back to the default language configured for the site. This order matches the idea of giving users control through their profile first, then allowing a temporary session-specific choice, followed by environment cues, and only then a global default.
