The Ajax locale serving the default language is a generic problem.
It should be set by _COOKIE['_icl_current_language'] automatically,
And not only ajax, any default should consider the cookie, as welll as $_REQUEST["lang"].
My hack to replace the default choice is as follow in sitepress-multilingual-cms/sitepress.class.php
around line 440 you reach default choice for non admin (the admin part is more complex (??)

   }else{ 
    $this->this_lang = $this->get_default_language();
   }

I replaced it by 

}else{ 
  $this->this_lang = $this->get_default_language();
  //doesntwork? if(defined('DOING_AJAX')) anyway: default for all
  {
    $al = $this->get_active_languages();
    if(isset($_REQUEST['lang']) && isset($al[$_REQUEST['lang']])){
      $this->this_lang = $_REQUEST['lang'];
    }else{
      $this->this_lang = $this->get_language_cookie();//test exists?
    }
  }
}

Can it be implemented like that in wpml plugin ?

Thank you for contacting WPML support!!

We believe you are using older version of WPML. We would like to check that.

In order to investigate your issue, Can you please let us answer following questions:
=> Can you please share screen shot of WPML => Support Page

Thanks for responding,

my versions are up to date I believe :
WPML Multilingual CMS Version 2.9.3
WordPress 3.9.2 running DynamiX theme

My problems were on a sabai-directory which is officially known NOT compatible with WPML.
But asmy fix can make a lot of plugins ajax based more compatibles,
You can just change
$this->this_lang = $this->get_default_language();
by
$this->this_lang = $this->get_language_cookie();
or add an option or a hook at this part of code to make it a standard.

Thanks for reading, and for this useful and reactive forum.
