Description

### Before you submit

- [x] I have searched the issue tracker for [open](https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/issues) and [closed](https://github.com/Droid-ify/client/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed) issues that are similar to the feature request I want to file, without success.
- [x] I'm not requesting app support for a specific repo — that's up to repo maintainers
- [x] I understand this might not get built (Droid-ify is maintained by a single person)

### What's the problem?

The language selector in the app is kind of a legacy UI - now that Android supports per-app language settings (`System Settings` → `System` → `Languages` → `App languages`), we should support that and eventually get rid of the in-app language selector.
