Does not remember language when replying to a reply

[forteller]

Describe the request

Hi!

When you post something with a non-default language tag and you then reply to your own post, then Tuba remembers the language tag used and defaults to it, which is great!

But if someone else replies to your first post, and you then reply to that post – then Tuba goes back to the default language tag, and you have to search to select the other language tag again.

Not sure if this is really a bug or a FR, but… :)

Thank you for your work!

When replying, Tube sets the language used in the post you are replying to.

Thanks for the report!

Could expand a bit on this? As Łukasz said, when replying it inherits the replying-to post's language but the issue body is confusing me, could you give me an example like so:

Me: Post in English (default language)
Person A: Reply in German
Me: Reply to Person A in German
Me: Reply to original post in English

Thank you for your prompt responses! :)

I noticed this issue when replying to this comment: https://declin.eu/objects/bcf6543c-7fe8-4d59-b921-bbffed99ca08

I posted the first post in that thread tagged as English, then when replying to that comment, Tuba had set its language tag to Norwegian, my default. That made no sense to me, as I'm almost certain that this person is not Norwegian, and would not tag their reply as being in Norwegian.

What I've learned after creating this issue, though, is that they use Pleroma, which does not seem to tag their posts with a language at all? So that seems to be the issue: When Tuba replies to a post with no language tag it goes back to the default. This makes sense! But even better, I think, would be if it could go to the language that the post above in the thread is tagged as. But I'm not sure if that is even possible.

Thanks again! :)
