Yes, you are right
4) Prevent second original lang selector in registration form to restart registration process (also prosilver not ext patch), maybe it is better to remove second selector completely

thank you, worked!
two questions for you:
1. what code should i edit, to show the language-select in the same place, after user-login too? (when users change the language from here, it changes their profile language too, or vice versa)
2. is it possible to fix this extension, not to edit theme files? (ucp_agreement.html, ucp_register.html)

Sorry, I don't know, I'm not professional phpBB developer, I just adopt this extension to my goals in the simplest way: before login user can change language using extension, after login user can change language using profile setting.

Thank you, I was just thinking about to change the language by both (extension and profile setting) after login. But i don't know how to show the language-select to logged-in users!

How to show for registered users? Ty.
