No, it's not impossible. In fact I've just implemented it.
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/online/commit/?id=62abb2533dab121156c8a5eef9db6d27e25cde65
It adds an optional 'lang' parameter, and if it is present, then it will
take precedence. It it's missing, the Accept-Language header will be used,
which is sent by the browser. The problem with this approach, that if user
asks for a localization in the 'lang' parameter, that is not present, then
the UI will fall back to English, and not to the next preferred language in
the Accept-Language header. (Or maybe not. I did not try.)

I did not find a better list. Maybe it's weird, maybe it's incomplete. For
example I can select Kurdish and Yoruba from Firefox -> Preferences ->
Content -> Languages -- the two examples you gave in your other email. But
with the 'lang' parameter, it is no longer important, what browsers
support.

I hope this helps. Best regards.
