Hello,

https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_development/index.html#_locale_selector states the following:

Custom implementations can extend the DefaultLocaleSelectorProvider in order to reuse parts of the default behavior.
For example to ignore the Accept-Language request header, a custom implementation could extend the default provider, 
override it’s getAcceptLanguageHeaderLocale, and return a null value. As a result the locale selection will fall back on the 
realm’s default language.

getAcceptLanguageHeaderLocale is marked as private and this is not possible to achieve. I looks that ignoreAcceptLanguageHeader parameter has taken this function in latest versions( issue #36986)

You're right, that method is private now. You can just use the ignoreAcceptLanguageHeader parameter instead—this will ignore the header and use the default language. The docs are a bit outdated here.
