The choice is saved with the other interface preferences (`cadcraft.prefs`, beside the theme):
eframe storage on the desktop, browser local storage on the web. Installations without a saved
choice use Auto.
Auto uses the first supported language in the operating system's preferred locales, or the
browser's `navigator.languages` on the web. Ukrainian tags such as `uk-UA` and `uk_UA.UTF-8`
resolve to `uk`, German tags such as `de-DE` and `de_AT.UTF-8` resolve to `de`; unsupported
languages fall back to English. Set `CADCRAFT_LOCALE=uk-UA` to
override the desktop's locale for a launch. An explicit saved English, Ukrainian or German
choice takes precedence over that override.

```
The `ui.set` method also accepts `{"interfaceLanguage":"uk"}`. Supported values are `auto`,
`en`, `uk`, and `de`; invalid values are rejected without changing the current selection.
