A bit of an odd problem that I've yet to figure out why, we have a 10.6 installation under test (upgraded to the latest release), and since we have a rather large archive of images we want to upload without too much extra metadata entering (and some images stored with the name "Component XYZ 2021.jpg"), the $merge_filename_with_title setting to true makes this lot easier as it automatically sets the title as the filename from the file ("Component XYZ 2021") and one can save all the uploaded files at once. 

But, as we have users who also prefer menus et al to be in their native language, some have selected to use Norwegian (or Swedish) as the gui language, which is fine of course. But: When the language is set to Norwegian or Swedish (or probably other languages as well),  the upload of a new image will not set the title automatically. It will then be blank (and since it's obligatory you have to manually set the title for all the images you're trying to upload, adding a lot of extranous steps in the process). 

Setting the language back to default English and new files comes with the correct title again, so it's only when the gui language is set to non default this happens.

I can't see any reason why the language files should interfer with this functionality, I don't see anything obvious in the language files themselves either.
