Ok - I will take a look if I will be able to handle this.

1. When user don’t know the default language - it can be quite complex for him to go and change the language back to his native.

2. In multi language communities invites often lead to some particular topic with initial how-to, welcome post…  
And that topic (or even whole category) is usually formed in the language of the invitation.

So only interface language changes to default one. And it’s quite inconsistent and not user friendly in this case, imho.
