(@mkarolin comment) The language is disabled for UI in Chromium (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40073213). No clear indication as to why, but from what I recall they typically disable languages that don't have full support in V8 (something to do with dates or numbers formatting). It's probably worth opening a separate issue for getting the language enabled in Brave.

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41287742#comment40 me...@chromium.org There are currently no plans to add it due to binary size constraints. That may be revisited by the Desktop team in the future.

Binary size constraints - Binary size increases are what's blocking Desktop Chrome from adding more languages. Each language is approximately 250kb, and any binary size increase causes a drop in updates.
