Disable language selection in login page

Disable language selection in WordPress login page (wp-login.php).

Since version 5.9, WordPress has added a feature that allows users to select the language in the login page. However, not everyone really needs this feature. If you feel it is not useful (the website only uses a single language), you can completely disable it to avoid confusion as well as improve the loading speed of the login page somewhat. In today’s post, I will show you some simple methods to do that.
