There is already the UserLang parameter. Unfortunately the session language overrides this right now.

Is there a reason we need two query params doing the same thing here?

The UserLang parameter that was already there is for the initial language page and not intended to be used like requested in the bug. I thought it would also be more initiative to keep the style of the uselang param name from the rest of the software consistent here.

Then we could rename UserLang and just use uselang for both :)

Alternate method, replaces UserLang input field name with uselang so there's one parameter

Fair enough, this patch should take care of that
