NEW:
When Automatic Change is set in the language filter plugin, added the association redirect to the user preferred language menu item if the redirection in the login module is set to a menu item associated to that language.

Test:
in the login modules(s), choose a login redirection to any menu item.
(Make sure the said menu item is associated to a menu item in the user preferred language.)
If that menu item is associated to a menu item tagged to the user preferred language, it is that last one that will display after login.

This is incomplete. Have to solve the redirection when login to see an article.

Hi Jean-Marie, I am testing your code with a specific use case where the redirect is not to an article but to a Menu Item.
I have 2 Menus, one for each language and with 2 Menu items each, like this:

• Menu - EN
  • Home - EN
    (URL index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&layout=blank&Itemid=810&lang=en)
  • Login - EN (com_users)
    (Redirect URL index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&layout=blank&Itemid=810&lang=en)
• Menu - IT
  • Home - IT
    (URL index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&layout=blank&Itemid=613&lang=it)
  • Login - IT (com_users)
    (Redirect URL index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&layout=blank&Itemid=613&lang=it)

I then have a user "User" with has it-it as preferred language.

If he lands on the english home of the site and he chooses to login anyway on the english form he will be redirected to the en Home page, despite his preferred language. Don't you think the menu item association should be used too? I think you already do it for login module (line n.575 of languagefilter.php) but not for the login menu.
Hope what I say makes sense.

I am working on this aspect as the only way to get this possibility is to set the url to the menu item in the login menu item as, for example, index.php?Itemid=136&lang=it-IT, where 136 is the menu item id.
See the discussion here: #9826

I already have the code for that by using a supplementary field of the type menuitem and not text. Needs still some tweaking.

But we have a more important issue to solve first: Let's say we have an article set to registered and one has to login to see the full article. Here, It does not return to the article and I have an Error : You are not authorised, etc.

Trying to figure what happens here.

Hmm
#9846

Possibly related item #7204

@mannybiker Please test #10249

Then apply this patch too and choose a menu item in the login menu item redirection.

If #10249 is merged, you can directly test this.
If it is not yet, patch first with #10269

Please test by choosing a menu item (in the Module or/and the Login Menu Item) in a language which is NOT the user preferred language.
Set Automatic Change to Yes in the language filter.

Associate the menu item to another menu item in the preferred default language for the user logging.

Now display the language which is NOT the user preferred language in frontend where the switcher or/and the Login Menu item are displayed.

Log through the module or the login menu item: the user will be redirected to the menu item in his preferred language.

This completes #10249

@mannybiker @MATsxm @brianteeman @andrepereiradasilva

( @mannybiker Now your specific issue should be solved. I.e. By choosing a menu item in the Login menu item and access as guest, you will be able to redirect to another page (with special or public access) than the Login menu item (usually Home page) and if associated, in the user preferred language. )

Hmm, after merging #10249 (or patching it first), we can't apply this to test as it will have conflicts.

Ok, solved. Now both PR can be tested together.

@infograf768 @mannybiker I am a little confused with all these PR numbers flying around. So let's get this straightened out.

• Multilanguage (but not only): Adding field menuitem to login menu item #10249 has been merged
• [com_finder] frontend: Add language titles to smart search frontend #10269 Seems irrelevant to this PR
• Fix missing redirect to the URL configured in com_user in multilanguage environment #9710 Can this be closed as this is the PR for that?
• Regression: Redirect to profile when Register to Read More #9846 Closed
• [imp] Adding a short link readonly field in menu item edit #9826 Related but waiting for @infograf768

Thanks.

#9710 can be closed
#9826 is obsolete. we will provide hints and new tip for the login menu item. will close.

#9710 confirm can be closed. I will test the new PR from infograf768 very soon

#9724 tested and working for both menu and module login. My original issue is indeed fixed with this PR and the user preferred language is correctly taken into account when login redirection and associations are correctly configured. Really good job as usual @infograf768 :)

Please mark the test as successful at https://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/9724 :)

I was wondering how you put this "tested" mark in the comments. Many thanks!! Sorry, I'm still learning all these tools! ;)
