Subject: [PATCH] OCPBUGS-79067: Fix infinite re-render loop when switching
 language to English

LanguageDropdown and DetectLanguage both called useLanguage, creating
duplicate i18n event listeners and effect cycles. When switching back to
English via the ConfigMap code path, the cascading re-renders from both
instances exceeded React's maximum update depth.

Remove useLanguage from LanguageDropdown since DetectLanguage already
handles global i18n synchronization.
