In the registration form, the user is being proposed a list of languages between which to choose to interact with him/her.
Currently, the default option for all choices of languages is "Esperanto". This is ambiguous, as it can mean two very different things:
the user indeed wants Esperanto as one of the languages to interact with him/her;
the user left this option as the default.
Consequently, the system does not know how to interpret an entry marked as "Esperanto", and this can lead to the person receiving content in Esperanto which s/he never asked for.
Desired state
I propose that the default option for all three choices of languages be - None -. This option is refused for the choice of the preferred language (at least one answer is mandatory), and accepted for the languages of second and third choice.
