      Language selection hasn't been working for about a week.  The config changes but everything remains in English.

        If I put back the line removed in this commit: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/2eb5a0bf9d69fbedc6d4e9c1b5665ce9e6396c2a

        putenv("LANG={$lang}.{$encoding}");

        then when I change language the General Setup screen is displayed initially in the newly-selected language.
        Then when I navigate somewhere else the language goes back to English.
        So something else is wrong in general - that commit is OK I guess, if the general problem is fixed then that specific putenv() should not be needed.

        But at least the gettext() translations must be there still, because it can translate at least 1page.

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."

          Think I saw something in guiconfig.inc dealing with language about a week ago.

            I put that code back in guiconfig.inc but it did not magically start working again.
            Renato made the change, so I guess he will know more quickly what is going on.
