Description

I've found that in case the local and/or language are forcedly selected the user profile shows not selected option, but not defined option. So, in config.php

force_local = > uk_UA
force_language => UK

Observe that the language and locale in profile are defined as The language is not defined

Instead of it should be defined as Ukrainian.

Research direction
The issue is that when language or locale is forced via config.php, the user profile shows 'The language is not defined' instead of the actual language name. The fix should check the config.php forced settings and display the corresponding language name. Look in the user profile Vue components (e.g., UserProfile.vue) for where the language display is rendered. Also check the server side handling of forced locale/language in the settings controller. Then override the 'not defined' display with the actual language name when forced settings are present.
