feat: disable language/translations selection

- make it conditionally available for testing via
Settings/Advanced/Enable translations
- display a tooltip and infobox explaining the current and future
situation
- upon app start, force the language to "en" if the translations are not
enabled; and suggest app restart when they get disabled

Fixes #14527
