What is the correct way to set langauge used by a modal form?

I have a button linked through a controller to open a custom form in a modal:

The controller callback is:

  /**    * Callback for opening the modal form.    */   public function openShareLinkModalForm() {     $response = new AjaxResponse();      // Get the modal form using the form builder.     $modal_form = $this->formBuilder->getForm('Drupalssc_wslFormShareLinkModalForm');      // Add an AJAX command to open a modal dialog with the form as the content.     $response->addCommand(new OpenModalDialogCommand($this->t('Share the link to this page.'), $modal_form, ['width' => '1200']));              return $response;   } } 

this works fine except that when my button is on a FR page, the modal still opens in EN.

From a trick I have used elsewhere, I tried adding this code in the callback just before the getForm() call:

$language_manager = Drupal::languageManager(); $langcode = $language_manager->getCurrentLanguage(LanguageInterface::TYPE_CONTENT)->getId(); $language = $language_manager->getLanguage($langcode); $language_manager->setConfigOverrideLanguage($language); 

This has no impact. The controller callback seems to be basing translation off the value in: $language_manager->getCurrentLanguage(LanguageInterface::TYPE_CONTENT) and that value is always the default value set for the site (if I set default site language to FR; then the modal only shows in FR).

The question is, is this the proper way to set the language used by the modal?
