Set default language when commenting #1489

Open Coehill opened 1 month ago

Is Your Feature Request Related to a Problem?

Whenever I comment, the language is set to "select Language" and I need to select English. This adds more taps unnecessarily.

Feature Description

Add a default setting for comment language, or remember the language last used.

I like the idea of remembering the last language used. I think that's better that forcing a default language, because some people prefer to post without selecting a language (which uses the default language of the target community).

I didn't know that no-language used the default of the target community. Perhaps it could be more obvious?

Sure! Right now, we're following the web UI's design, which also says "Select language".

But maybe we could say something like "Default language" instead?

I think "Use community default" is more descriptive than simply "default language". If I saw the latter it would make me go looking in the app options for where to set said default.
