I have a site with Spanish installed as default language (from the very installation) and the theme works great.

For debugging purposes (reading the core messages in English), I enabled English and chose it as the language for my user.

Two things happened, one I'm sure is not Samara related but the other almost definitely is:

  1. The frontpage was redirecting to my user page when logged in, to the user registration page when logged out (accessing via private browsing). The home link got screwed up and all links (in Default Navigation and on breadcrumbs) pointed there. This is most likely related to the frontpage Views filter, since when I went to check it, it was also not displaying any content, although I had content.
  2. The other, which I'm pretty sure was Samara's doing, is that the "Site Name" was being displayed as "Drupal" for the logged in user, but properly displayed for anonymous (not logged in).

I'm sorry I didn't do much debugging, since I was pressed on time and was happy to retrace my steps and discovered that the problem had started after enabling a second language.

Nice, quick, formal theme. Thanks for the work.

Both things seem to me as not related to Samara. In Drupal 8 standard profile user page is configured as front page (you ma change it). Site name is configuration option of Branding block. Please check these issues on core Bartik theme and provide some feedback.
