cultureKey preventing saving in one language

[Mark-H]

Bear with me on this one, as I'm not 100% sure if I fully understand what's happening. The problem is the site, configured with NL, EN, and FR languages, refused to save English. Dutch and French work fine. Dutch (NL) is the system-configured cultureKey.

In the Lingua service class' setContentTranslation() method it's trying to load the cultureKey from the context, and skip that language its values if it's the same. I guess as the primary language goes on the resource itself.

For some reason I haven't been able to decipher yet, that line is returning en for me. The cultureKey system setting is set to nl and the (only) context does not have a cultureKey setting. The only reason I can think of it may be using en for me is if it sniffed the browser, but is that supposed to affect the manager? If so that suggests a front-end language may affect what languages can be saved, which wouldn't be great.

When changing:

     $defaultCultureKey = $this->modx->context->getOption('cultureKey');

to

      $defaultCultureKeySetting = $this->modx->getObject('modSystemSetting', array('key' => 'cultureKey'));
      $defaultCultureKey = $defaultCultureKeySetting ? $defaultCultureKeySetting->get('value') : $this->modx->context->getOption('cultureKey');

it once again saves the English and seems to behave as it should. But I'm not sure if that truly is the way to fix it. Feedback would be welcome..
