Maybe your browser deletes all cookies at closing.
I think i know how it works because i implemented it. The language setting is stored in a cookie.
The language setting is stored in a cookie.
@votdev I have a (small) change request on this behavior. If the cookie is deleted it is necessary to select a language in the selection box the next time. Could it be changed to autoselect a default language (English) if no cookie was found by OMV? (BTW: My browser deletes all cookies when it is closed. And I didn´t find a solution to exclude the OMV cookie)
I feel it quite annoying to be forced to select a language, then wait a little bit for the page refresh until username and pw can be entered finally.
For my personal oppinion the language selection could be removed completely from the login box. I do not know any other (NAS) solution or any other system which allows or rather forces this. Normally for login only username and pw is necessary. The language setting then can be changed within the gui. This should be sufficient enough.
Sometimes it is the little things that produce the big results 
It is set to 'en' by default, see https://github.com/openmediava…t/js/omv/util/i18n.js#L49 and https://github.com/openmediava…d/LanguageComboBox.js#L62.

This does not mean that OMV must do the same.
I would like to have the language selection in the login screen because some users want to see that login dialog in their native language, too.

Yes, of course, there is always a reason while things are done as they are
It is set to 'en' by default,
Ok. Maybe I have not expressed myself clearly. I would find it very pleasing if in that case the language selection box would be pre-filled with "English". With 3.0.xx it´s just empty.

'en' is the shortcut for the 'English' language selection. The OMV3 and OMV4 are the same in this case, so by default the 'English' language is selected. I never realized that the language box was not pre-selected if no cookie exists.
I had to update my previous comment. If no cookie is set, the browser is asked for the prefered language, see https://github.com/openmediava…t/js/omv/util/i18n.js#L34. Only if that does not happen the default language is 'English'.

@votdev I have to apologize. 
It is exactly as you have described it here.

This only happens with an old Windows XP machine. If no cookie exists, "Select a language..." is displayed. With newer Windows Versions (tested with Win 7 Pro) it is, as you have explained it.
..If no cookie is set, the browser is asked for the prefered language..
Could you please make default english? For OMV webgui i'm using chromium in incognito mode, so everytime i'm forced to choose language (and after this entered credentials are wiped out). This is extremely annoying.
As already mentioned above the code always selects 'English' as default if everything else does not get applied.
