Hello,

I am facing a problem on using a language other than English by default.
I chose French as the default language when installing Drupal 8.
And all went very well until I activate "Enable interface translation to English" in "admin/config/regional/language/edit/en" to be able to modify some translations.
I have add and modify translations in English, it works very well
But by now if a new user registers on the site in the English pages, All the notifications sent by mail are in French !!!
I did a test by adding the translation of the title of the mail of the inscription:

msgid "Account details for [user:display-name] at [site:name] (pending admin approval)"
msgstr "Account details for [user:display-name] at [site:name] (pending admin approval)"

And it worked, but I do not see myself adding all the English translations, that will be at 99% the same strings.
And logically, there is no en.po on localize.drupal.org.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Test on Drupal core 8.3.3 on fresh install without any contrib modules / PHP7.0.20

    Is this still applicable? I tested on 10.1.x with the following steps:

    1. Install standard profile with French (Français) as the default language
    2. Enable English (Anglais) at /admin/config/regional/language/add
    3. Navigate to /admin/config/regional/language/edit/en, check the box "Activer la traduction de l'interface vers l'anglais" and submit the form
    4. Log out
    5. Navigate to /en/user/register and complete registration

    The "Welcome (admin approval)" email was sent to the user in English, and the "Admin (user awaiting approval)" email was sent to the admin in French.

    Seems like this is working correctly now?
