Hi,
I'm rather new to Drupal but I was wondering if anyone knows a quick and easy way to add a Language Preferences selection list (as per the User Account page) to the Create New Account page. I'd like my users to be able to select a language at sign up (not after they have been emailed their password). If it's a permissions issue, I can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks very much for any help with this. Cheers!

Just wondering if you could do it with Rules
Maybe you could use Rules (or Actions) to pick up the current language at time of registration (presumably their preferred language) and set that into their account profile. Otherwise, maybe create a profile field for preferred language, and use some PHP (again via rules/actions) to copy that into the standard language preference field.
If your a developer, try creating a module to place the language preference onto the registration form - arguably it should be a standard Drupal feature, but it's not. This should be a very simple module to write (let me know if you'd like a quote!)

Update: Looks like somebody
Update: Looks like somebody has already done it - http://drupal.org/project/reglang (or maybe not, I only took a quick look.)

Netgenius, thanks a lot! Looks like that module will do the trick. I appreciate the help.
