[Doc] User interface language: How to set "system default"?

Using Neos & Flow
1

The user setting defaults to “Use system default”, but where can that be configured in order to adjust the language for existing default users and newly created users?

Hey Chris

Seems not to be documented unfortunately. But you can do it using the configuration setting TYPO3.Neos.userInterface.defaultLanguage. See https://github.com/neos/neos/blob/master/Configuration/Settings.yaml#L148

Cheers,
Aske

Thank you Aske!
Worked nicely, and explains itself if the following is appended to the default /neos/Configuration/Settings.yaml stub:

## Customizing default interface language.
## Check Packages/Application/TYPO3.Neos/Configuration/Settings.yaml for "availableLanguages".
#  Neos: 
#    userInterface: 
#      defaultLanguage: 'en'

Great.

Doesn’t really belong there though, but in the documentation instead. Should be added to http://neos.readthedocs.org/en/2.0/InsideOfNeos/UserInterface/Translation.html

Maybe you would be up for adding it and submitting a pull request? Just click the “Edit on Github”, edit the file and submit for the 2.0 branch (not master). You can find more info on how to do that on Creating a pull request

Were are the default Configuration/Settings.yaml and Configuration/Settings.yaml.example files in the repository?

I could not find them:
https://github.com/neos/neos-development-collection/search?utf8=✓&q="Example+Settings"

# Please refer to all default package settings file(s)
# (i.e. Packages/Application/TYPO3.Neos/Configuration/Settings.yaml for TYPO3.Neos package)
# or the manuals for  possible configuration options.

Those come from the Flow package…
