That's exactly what it does yes.

There's no need to enter your password to change it your preferred 
languages - if you leave both passwords blank then it won't touch the 
password.

My guess is that your browser filled in the first password automatically 
and it then thought you were trying to change the password and 
complained that the two passwords were not the same.

None of which has any bearing on the language - if it accepts the 
changes then he language will be changed.
