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:
  1. Go to Preferences > Localization.
  2. Select a language (e.g. Hindi).
  3. Observe that the UI updates to the selected language.
  4. 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".
