Problem/Motivation

To translate interface text, configuration content, and entity content in a specific render context is difficult. To accomplish this, you must change the site's default language, set the config override, and modify the default langcode on the translation service.

+        $this->languageDefault->set($language);
+
+        $this->languageManager->setConfigOverrideLanguage($language);
+        $this->languageManager->reset();
+
+        $string_translation = $this->getStringTranslation();
+        if ($string_translation instanceof TranslationManager) {
+          $string_translation->setDefaultLangcode($language->getId());
+          $string_translation->reset();

Proposed resolution

The LanguageManagerInterface should have a "setLanguage" method (or other naming) which streamlines this task.
