I don't want the user to have a choice in their default language.

Here is the problem I have been running into, with the choice of
English and French, when there user confirms their subscription, the
confirmation page is in English, because that is the default.

The user never gets a chance to see the confirmation in French.

That is why I was looking for a way to have my cake and eat it too :)
