[Frontend] LanguageSwitcher select has no accessible name (no label or aria-label)

Why this matters

LanguageSwitcher.tsx:27-36 renders a bare select next to a decorative Languages icon with no label htmlFor, no aria-label, and no aria-labelledby. Screen readers announce it as an unlabeled combobox (WCAG 4.1.2 / 1.3.1). The icon is the only visual cue and is not associated with the control.

Acceptance criteria

• The language select has a programmatic accessible name (aria-label=Language or a visually-hidden associated label)
• The decorative Languages icon is marked aria-hidden
• Name is verified by querying the control by accessible role/name in a test

Files to touch

• frontend/src/app/components/global_ui/LanguageSwitcher.tsx

Out of scope

• Adding new locales
• Wiring full i18n persistence

Hi, I’d like to work on #1229. I can add a proper accessible name to the LanguageSwitcher select, preserve the existing UI, and verify the component still works correctly before submitting a focused PR.
