To change the default language, go to Admin Panel -> Configurations

It is not possible to automatically change the language based on the browser's settings.

Well, can I do that programatically at least !! where I sign the user using SSO class, I think and it makes sense to set the language for that user .. can't I !!

Do you mean that multi language support can be updated for the entire site and for all logged in users ?

Can;t we make it per user 's session ?

In the features page I found the following points:
- Support for different languages; easy to add new languages
- Language preferences may be set on a per user basis

That's right!

To add a new language, just create the <langName>.properties, like en_US.properties, put it at WEB-INF/config/languages and register in the file locales.properties.

To change the language per user, all the user has to do is change the language at its profile page (field user_lang from jforum_users table)

Yes. To change the default board language, you set via Admin Panel. To change users languages, you can update the user_lang field of table jforum_users or ask them to change the language in the My Profile page
