[keycloak-dev] Locale cookie vs ui_locales priority

Currently the LocaleHelper#getUserLocale chooses locale priority based
on the following order:

1. kc_locale query parameter
2. Locale cookie
3. User profile
4. ui_locales query parameter
5. Accept-Language http header

We are building clients which uses the ui_locales parameter to select
localization of the login to match the locale of the client.
Since the locale cookie has a higher priority than the ui_locales
query parameter, the ui_locales query parameter is ignored for any
auth requests with a kc_locale cookie present.

1. Do you see any implications of prioritizing the ui_locales
parameter above the locale cookie when resolving locale?
2. Are there reasons why the ui_locales does not update the locale
cookie value the same way kc_locale parameter does it?

Best regards,
