Bring the installer's language selector back

Created on 9 June 2025, about 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

As part of making Drupal CMS multilingual-friendly, we need to allow people to choose a language in the installer. This is a relatively complex set of changes, as characterized by the proof-of-concept merge request at https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupalcmsmultilingual/-/merge_requests/1 (I'm crediting the author of that MR here).

Proposed resolution

Let's start with actually showing the language selector in the installer's theme. The selector shouldn't actually do anything apart from reload the current page with langcode=SELECTED_LANGCODE. It's okay if that doesn't actually result in the site actually getting translated yet -- we'll get there in other issues.

User interface changes

The installer will have a language selection drop-down.
