Hi,
I am wondering why admin language is not used in admin menu on frontend pages.
If I switch e.g. to /admin the logout link and all other links are correctly displayed in admin language.
If I am e.g. on the front page, the admin menu uses the current language instead.
This is not a good behaviour as admin menu language should NOT change and should always use the admin language!
Any way to force this?

Hi, sorry for reopening. But after being back from holiday I retested with current beta3 today. And the problem still exists!!!
If I am on a frontpage page (any node) the admin_menu switches to the language the node is in.
If I go to any admin page (having /admin/ in the URL) everything is fine (admin_menu + admin-content are in the backend language).
Is this the expected behaviour? Can we set the language of the admin_menu to a fixed value?

Sorry for pushing this - but does nobody else have this problem? Am I the only one where the language in admin_menu switches back to frontend language when you are on the frontend?

Hi Stefan,
any chance that there will be done some testing / development on this? admin_language is so great - but the admin_menu-frontpage problem is a real blocker for us to us it.

Re-opening this issue, and clarified the title. The previously mentioned issue is about the Drupal Core Toolbar. This issue is about the admin menu provided by the Administration Menu (admin_menu) module.

Since it is easier to implement this the other way around (support admin_language in admin_menu) closing this again in favor of: #1498820-21: Support Administration Language module (patch available).
