On the "detection and selection" page we should change "default" to "default language" and add link to configuration page.

(Based on discussion at Multilingual Sprint in Montreal).

Here's a patch. The configure link goes to the page where you choose the default language, not the configuration page for the language itself. I assume that's what you wanted?

Looks very straightforward. However, you'll notice that Drupal does not use title case like this, so "Default Language" => "Default language".

Clearly everything should just be written in CAPS. :P

I know xmacinfo was doing this yesterday, but I'm not sure what happened to the patch, so I'm just submitting it.

Title: Language negotiation UX: Change wording and add link on "detection and selection" page » Make default language easier to grok and configure in language negotiation
Issue tags: +language-base

Tagging for base language system. Also making title simpler and more to the point.
