[Juan Ramirez]

How can i get the userPreferences, being more specific the language a user select's in the profile window?, i am looking for information about the use of UserPreferencesManager, included in Jira 6.1.7 Api.

Here's a sample if I understood correctly:

String userLocale = ComponentAccessor.getUserPreferencesManager().getExtendedPreferences(user).getString(PreferenceKeys.USER_LOCALE)

hello, i have type the last answer and the result of userLocale in a local enviroment is "null". i have verify with debugger the field user and it is correct.

[Boris Georgiev _Botron_]

The value will be null if the locale is equal to the default user locale. If that's the case try setting different locale and then see what will the code I've suggested will produce.
