 When the interim login modal appears (for example your cookies expire or
 you log out in another tab), the login screen is show in the language of
 the site instead of the language that the user has selected for the admin
 area.

 It should be possible to, for example, pass a `?lang=<lang>` attribute to
 `wp-login.php` in order to specify the UI language, and use this attribute
 in the interim login modal URL to pass through the user's chosen admin
 language.

 Such as URL parameter would also potentially allow for a language switcher
 to be added to the login screen.
