initLanguage should use short message format?

[maxxer]

Prerequisites

• [x] I have searched for similar issues in both open and closed tickets and cannot find a duplicate.
• [x] The issue still exists against the latest master branch of yii2-widget-fileinput.
• [x] This is not an usage question. I confirm having read the widget documentation and demos.
• [x] This is not a general programming / coding question. (Those should be directed to the webtips Q & A forum).
• [x] This is not a source plugin (fileinput) issue. (Those should be directed to the plugin issues repo).
• [x] I have attempted to find the simplest possible steps to reproduce the issue.
• [ ] I have included a failing test as a pull request (Optional).

Steps to reproduce the issue

            <?= FileInput::widget([
                'model' => $model,
                'attribute' => 'attachments[]',
                'options' => ['multiple' => true],
            ]) ?>

Expected behavior and actual behavior

According to the code, plugin language is set automatically using Yii::$app->language property, but this doesn't work. language widget property must be set explicitly to the short ISO code in order to translate the widget.

A simple change in FileInput::initWidget() would allow automatic language selection.

        $this->initLanguage('language', false);

Setting the short message format will load the correct language.
