Description
Currently, if someone shares a file, the sharee will get an email in the sharer's configured language. The change requested is to use the default language of the instance instead.
Example: If a Nextcloud instance has english as a default, but I've changed the language to german in my profile, sharing a file with someone will make them get an email in german.
Further improvement: If it's possible to determine the language of the sharee, then it would be even better to send the email in the sharee's language instead.
