Available languages in Type
Here there are two enhancements about available language in type funcionality:
a. From a usability standpoint, we believe that when a application supports multiple languages—and one of them matches the user's selected profile language—the application itself should display in that profile language.
b. In the other hand, if user selects one language for one application, system should remind the last selected language for that application. Currently system opens the application in a default language and user always must select its preferred language.

To add more context to this request, what we have observed is:
1. If the user is logged in using a language that is not supported by the type he is trying to access, the system loads the form with the default language defined for the type - which is OK -.
2. If the user is logged in using a language that is supported by the type and IS NOT the default language for the type, it still loads the form attached to that type in the type's default language.
In the case showcased by Oscar, that would be a user who uses the platform in Catalan, and once they access the type, they will see the form loads in Spanish - even though Catalan is an available language and they can switch to it once the form loads -.
It would also be great if the selection is persistent. Essentially, if the user access the form and selects a language different from the default, it would be great if the next time they access the form SmartSimple remembers what language they selected the last time they looked into that form. Right now it always loads the default, so if you want to see the form in another language you have to change the option in the dropdown every time you access that form.
