Description
Description:
When switching between languages in the Preferences > Localization section of Rocket.Chat, selecting "Default" does not immediately reflect expected behavior.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to Preferences > Localization.
- Select a language (e.g. Hindi).
- Observe that the UI updates to the selected language.
- Select "Default" from the dropdown.
Expected behavior:
The dropdown should also display "Default" when the system's default language is active.
Actual behavior:
1.Selecting "Default" does not update the UI immediately for some languages.
2.After a page refresh:
- The dropdown now correctly display "Default".
