🐛 Bugreport

reported by @infinite-dao at the related issue #1467:

Seeing the same on https://human-connection.social, I just want to add:

1. I had posted a news article with English language setting, it is saved as such
2. On reediting this article it displays in gray as @ulfgebhardt reported and the very first option is selected regardless that an English language setting was saved before

So it needs also a selected check, wich language option has to be selected in relation to the previously saved post article language setting

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Write a new post
2. Select a language other than your selected locale
3. Save the post
4. Edit the post
5. See the language setting changed to your selected locale

Expected behavior

When I select a language for a post I expect it not to change automatically when editing the post. I still want to be able to manually change the language.

Version & Environment

originally found on production, reproducible on develop

Additional context

The language select field needs to be decoupled from the locale setting.

Question: Do we want to pre-select a language, based on the current locale setting or should it be empty and the user forced to select a language manually? Can we make sure to only set the language automatically when no language has been selected yet?
