 The `Site Language` option on the General Settings screen can be hard to
 identify if the site is using a language that the user cannot understand.
 The `Language` option on the user's profile screen has a similar problem,
 although less so.

 The problem is especially noticeable for users who are not familiar with
 the WordPress interface.

 An icon should be placed next to the field name so that it's more easily
 identifiable as a language switcher for users who cannot understand the
 current language.

 There is a
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/#translation
 translation icon in Dashicons] that can be used. There's also the
 [http://www.languageicon.org/ Language Icon] that could be an option if an
 icon specific to language selection is needed.
