[keycloak-dev] Locale cookie vs ui_locales priority

[Stian Thorgersen]

The way at least it was supposed to work was that the Locale cookie would
only be set if a user has explicitly changed the locale. That way we can
remember a users preference even when the user is logged out.

Are you seeing ui_locales not taking affect without a user having used the
locale drop-down?
