Comment:

 > We'll just change the user profile if the language stored in the meta is
 different from the language selected on the login page.

 If you mean the `usermeta`, this won't address @swissspidy's point. See
 [https://3v4l.org/K3dkQ these results].

 Instead, we would need to change the user profile if the **site's
 language** is different from the language selected on the login page. See
 [https://3v4l.org/1HVOn these results].

 Note: With this implementation, if a user wants to switch back to the
 site's language, they would need to make the change in their profile.

 ----

 In general, matching a user's stated preference to their usermeta makes
 sense to me.

 Milestoning for `6.0` and adding `needs-unit-tests` to prevent regressions
 once this has been implemented.
