Description
On any BOINC project forum pages, when user _A is sending a private message (PM) to user B_, the notification email is written in the _language, which is set as user A's preference, instead of user B's preferred (and understandable) language_.
Currently it is just the e-mail subject, which gets translated. But if you imagine two users, which preferences are set to e.g. Slovak and Japanese, (and if the notification e-mails' contents would be thoroughly translated too,) both users would be actually getting some garbage e-mail they are not able to read and understand, except maybe the private message text itself, written in a language they both understand and agreed to use for communication.
I believe that this notification e-mail should be translated into the recipient's language instead of the sender's one. And if the PM is being addressed to multiple recipients, then each one correspondingly. Maybe with a fall-back to a particular (project-preferred) default language, e.g. now it is English.
(Response from davea: "This would require adding a field to a DB table (probably forum_preferences) to store the language list passed in the last web access.")
PS: Forum posts' notification e-mails could possibly also be sent using user's preferred language.
