Clicking this will take you to a page where you can upload a photograph and select which profile it will be associated with.
To avoid privacy leakage, we only display the photograph associated with your default profile as the avatar in your posts.
+<a name="language"></a>
+### How can I view Friendica in a certain language?
+
+You can do this by adding the `lang` parameter to the url in your url bar.
+The data in the parameter is a [ISO 639-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) code.
+A question mark is required for the separation between url and parameters.
+
+Example:
+
+ https://social.example.com/profile/example
+
+in German:
+
+ https://social.example.com/profile/example?lang=de.
+
+If the question mark is already in the url you need to do it using a ampersand.
+
+Example:
+
+ https://social.example.com/profile/example?tab=profile
+
+in German:
+
+ https://social.example.com/profile/example?tab=profile&lang=de.
+
+When a certain language is forced, the language remains until session is closed.

### What is the difference between blocked|ignored|archived|hidden contacts?
However a hidden contact will appear normally in conversations and this may expose his/her hidden status to anybody who can see the conversation.

-### What happens when an account is removed? Is it truly deleted?
-
-If you delete your account, we will immediately remove all your content on **your** server.
+### What happens when an account is removed?
-Then Friendica issues requests to all your contacts to remove you.
-This will also remove you from the global directory.
-Doing this requires your account and profile still to be "partially" available for up to 24 hours in order to establish contact with all your friends.
-We can block it in several ways so that it appears empty and all profile information erased, but will then wait for 24 hours (or after all of your contacts have been notified) before we can physically remove it.
+If you remove your account, it will be scheduled for permanent deletion in *seven days*.
+As soon as you activate the deletion process you won't be able to login any more.
+Only the administrator of your node can halt this process prior to permanent deletion.
-After that, your account is deleted.
+After the elapsed time of seven days, all your posts, messages, photos, and personal information stored on your node will be deleted.
+Your node will also issue removal requests to all your contacts; this will also remove your profile from the global directory if you are listed.
+Your username cannot be reissued for future sign-ups for security reasons.
