settings: Simplify setting organization default language.

The changes in the last few commits changed the semantics of the
organization default language to no longer be the primary source of
information for a user's language when creating a new account.

Here, we change the settings UI and /help/ documentation to reflect
this.

# Set the default language for new users

Zulip has been translated or partially translated into a number of different
languages. You can see which languages Zulip supports, and help add support
for new languages on **[Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/zulip/zulip/)**.

If your organization usually uses a language other than English, you can set
a default language for new users. This setting will not affect existing
users, and new users can still
[manage their individual language setting](change-your-language).
Each user can use Zulip with [their preferred
language](/help/change-your-language). In addition, if your
organization has a primary language other than American English, you
can set the notifications language for the organization. This setting:
### Set the default language for new users
* Determines the language used for automated messages sent to streams
by [Notification
Bot](/help/configure-notification-bot). (Notifications sent to a
single user will use that user's language).
* Determines the language used for outgoing
[invitation emails](/help/invite-new-users).
* Is used as the default language for new user accounts when Zulip
cannot detect their language preferences from their browser,
including all users [created via the Zulip API][api-create-user].
### Configure the organization notifications language
{start_tabs}
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
2. Under **Default user settings**, change the **Default language**.
2. Under **Notifications**, change the **Notifications language**.
{!save-changes.md!}
{end_tabs}
Note that users can always send and read messages in any language, regardless
of their language setting.
