3. _System Language_: On a public server, the system language should _normally_ be set to English, even if you're not English. Friendica will attempt to auto-detect the language specified by your visitors' browsers. If you have a translation installed for that language, the site will select the correct one automatically. Only if this fails, will the language fall back to the default specified here. English is the de-facto language of the internet and the usual choice here. But if you are targeting people from a particular country, go ahead and set their language as the default. If you're a community server, you should set this to the language your particular community speaks.
4. _System Theme_: This specifies the default theme for vistors to the website, and members who are not logged in (note you must first activate themes from the "theme" menu). Diabook is the most "newbie friendly" theme, but it has a draw back - it doesn't yet work in internet explorer. The Duepunto themes are the most basic, and should work in most browsers, but they're also the least "shiney". The Comix font is missing from some systems, though the theme still looks nice without it. Other than these considerations, your system theme is a matter of taste. Remember, for some reason, users never seem to find the theme options. You should use the theme you think most people will find easiest to use, not necessarily the one you personally use. For example, I personally use dispy-dark, but I find my users need less help if my system theme is Diabook.

Remember, for some reason, many users never seem to find the theme options. You should therefore select the theme you think most people will find easiest to use, not necessarily the one you personally use. For example, a lot of admins like Dispy for themselves, but that their users need less help if my system theme is Diabook. _Users can later switch to any theme you have activated in the ``Themes`` menu._
5. SSL policy. If you allow SSL and Non-SSL connections, which you shouldn't for the reasons explained in the earlier section, you should set this to no SSL policy. If you do this, you need to provide a way for users to switch between the two. I use two small padlock icons - one open, one closed - in the Banner/Logo area to achieve this. If you don't have SSL at all, you should also use this option. If you mandate SSL, select the Force all links to use SSL option.
