Need ability to pick what displays for Preferred Language

Agreed! Hiding unused and unhiding locales is much preferred over having to delete and re-add when necessary.

+1 to adding a flag.

We do not use translations in our setup, so it's confusing that "Preferred Language" displays at all, both in the OPAC and patron edit/registration.

If a flag is added, perhaps if all locales are set to hidden, the preferred language field could be hidden completely. Alternatively, a setting could control whether it displays. (I can open a new bug on this if needed.)

I think the field should only display if translations are enabled in the OPAC/Staff Client.

I *can* see uses for the field even when translations are not enabled, but given how the field uses the existing i18n/translation table, it makes sense to use the same settings, at least to me.

I agree that it would be intuitive to display none if no locales are
used. +1 to a flag
