Feature Request: populate language when uploading a poster

I always wondered why there are so many posters without proper language tagging in the database. When uploading my first poster I noticed that the language is not populated in the upload process.

Hi Kari,
We've thought about this before but reality is is that there is no guarantee that the language you are browsing in and the language of the poster is ever going to be the same. In this particular instance, I believe that no data is better than wrong data.

Hi Travis, I agree, that would be a bad default. What I was thinking about is the language selection list next to the file selector.

Ah yes, that would be different indeed. I've created a new ticket for this here.
Thanks!
