Description

### What

It would be nice if I could set the site language when creating the site.

### Why

When I create a new site, the language of my WordPress site is determined by the language setting in Studio itself.

I'm free to change the language setting after creating the site, but it would be nice to be able to specify a language when creating a site that is not related to the language setting of the Studio app.

### How

It might be difficult to support all languages ​​that WordPress supports, but it would be nice to at least be able to set the languages ​​available in the Studio app.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Trace the site-creation flow and the Studio language setting first, then identify how the app represents its supported languages and passes the selected value to a new WordPress site; done means creation accepts an independent supported language and the resulting site uses it.
