    Description

      Summary

      The yellow admin banner remains in a specific language no matter what the language settings are in the General Configuration, the browser and the user profile.

      Environment

      Confluence 6.3.1

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Set browser language to German from another language
      2. Access the Confluence Admin console
      3. The yellow banner at the top will stay in English (screen shots attached)

      Expected Results

      Everything on the instance would be in German.

      Actual Results

      The banner is in English.

      Notes

      Tried on two support engineer test instances. Please see screen shots for profile, global and browser language settings.

      Workaround

      Some customers have had the banner appear in the correct language after restarting Confluence:
      https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Yellow-Administration-Banner-in-Confluence-Language-is-not/qaq-p/615318

      There seems to be something that doesn't refresh the Confluence language, even when logging out or clearing the browser cookies. It seems that the banner language is set by the first language that it sees and sticks to that language regardless of the header

      Accept-Language:en-AU,en;q=0.9,ja;q=0.8
