Map language setting isn't linked to the profile #21293

Description

It's not possible to select different map languages for different profiles.

You could argue whether it is a bug or a feature request. Since other map settings are linked to a profile I'm considering this more as a bug.
Note: There is a similar feature request #8763

Steps to reproduce

Pick a particular profile.
Go to the map configuration and change the language of the map labels.
Switch to another profile.
Note that the language setting is identical to the newly selected one of the previous profile.
Change this language to another one.
Switch back to the first profile.
Note that the language setting was changed again.

Actual result

The map language setting is a global one and not linked to a profile.

Expected result

The map language setting is stored in the profile and each profile can potentially have another language selected.
(Like it is implemented for other map settings, e.g. font size)

Your Environment (required)

OsmAnd Version: 4.8.6
Android/iOS version: 13

Use-case why per profile languages might be useful:
When looking to the map via the default viewer profile or as a pedestrian you might want to see the map labels in your native language.
However, if you are driving in a foreign country using the car or cycling profile, etc. then you might want to see the local names. Thus, I'd like to select local names just for those profiles.

This behavior can be reproduced. To reproduce it, select two profiles and set different map languages for each by going to Menu → Configure map → Map rendering → Map language.

As a result, the map language setting isn’t independent—changing the language in one profile automatically changes it across all profiles.

While this is likely the expected behavior, it would be highly useful and convenient to make this setting profile-dependent.
