---- Reported by mason@kohaaloha.com 2008-08-26 22:04:19 ----

Hi All,

from a koha3-stable install, 'languages' and 'opaclanguages' sysprefs *dont* set default languages.

they actually set the *available* languages for selection.

to fix - We need to make another pair of sysprefs

OpacLangDefault
OpacLangAvailable

LangDefault
LangAvailable

or whatever names you prefer...

is this the best way? 
Josh, this is your area, any preferences??

cheers, Mason.

I'm seeing this too. 

I have a server where English, Swedish and Norwegian are all installed. Then I have an installation where only English and Swedish are "activated" in the opaclanguages syspref. When I browse to the OPAC of this installation with my preferred language set to nb-no (Norwegian) in Firefox I see it it Norwegian, even though that language is not activated for this OPAC. I would consider that a bug, not a feature...
