<p class=MsoNormal>>> <span class=apple-style-span>However, I have
before raised the concern that if I'm muddling my way through a site
that's only available in French I'd still rather have my OP -- that, after
all, knows more about me than the RP -- present its UI in English, my
primary language.</span><br>
That is a question we at Google are considering as well, and we don't know the
answer. However in the case where the user is not yet logged in to the
OP/IDP, we do think it would be a good idea to use that language hint from the
RP to decide what language to use on the OP/IDP's login screen. But even
in that case we use a bunch of signals to decide on the language, and we are
going to have to run some experiments to decide how to incorporate that RP hint
into those other signals.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I believe the idea here is to arrange for the OP UI to
appear in the<br>
same language as the RP regardless of how the RP determined language.<br>
