I can only strongly echo this. If any automatic language detection is added, make 200% sure that it is the right localization field read from the system, or better yet, confirm with the user.
My computer is set up to use English as its language and Danish for its other localized settings (currency, keyboard, time, etc.). Any program that writes stuff in Danish always pisses me off, and same for websites that redirects me to the local danish website when I enter their .com web address.
