I want to access the user browser settings and change the browser language, is this possible using Javascript?
If it's possible, how can I access this? (sample code please)

This is possible if you do it from within a Chrome extension.
Check this answer to a similar question & contentScript.js of locale-switcher Chrome extension:
let locale = null;
chrome.storage.local.get(["locale"], result => {
if (result) {
locale = result.locale;
}
if (locale) embedScript();
});
const embedScript = () => {
const code = `
(() => {
Object.defineProperties(Navigator.prototype, {
language: {
value: '${locale}',
configurable: false,
enumerable: true,
writable: false
},
languages: {
value: ['${locale}'],
configurable: false,
enumerable: true,
writable: false
}
});
})();`;
const script = document.createElement("script");
script.textContent = code;
document.documentElement.prepend(script);
script.remove();
};
I'm aware of timing (this question was asked 10 years before this answer) & that would be particularly fun if you are the author of this extension.
