Allow the user to designate a preferred language for UI translation #14579

Description

@jeremystretch

NetBox version

v3.7-beta1

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Introduce a dropdown field on the user preferences form where the user can select their preferred language. If defined, this selection will override the Accept-Language request header when determining the language to use.

I'm not sure whether it makes sense to list all of the available languages under ISO 639 (set 1), or just those for which NetBox includes translations (probably the later).

Use case

This will allow the user to designate a translation language other than what their browser is configured to request. For example, a German-speaking user's browser would typically be configured to prefer German, but they might prefer to work in NetBox using English (as a complete German translation is unavailable).
