Details
The site language code is usually set automatically with the installer.
List of languages codes can be found at includes/languages/data/Names.php.
The code should be in lower case and use hyphen as separator.
Examples: en, ku-latn, de-formal, mai
This specifies which language your page content is in, and also provides the default language for your wiki's interface. While users can switch the language of interface messages in their preferences, anonymous visitors will see the wiki's interface in the content language. Extension:LanguageSelector provides a way to auto-detect the language of anonymous users and let them choose their interface language without logging in.

Be prepared to update all messages you have customized in your wiki, move your main page and other broken things before and after all caches has been regenerated.maintenance/rebuildmessages.php script to rebuild the user interface messages (MediaWiki namespace). Otherwise, you will not see the interface in the new language, or a mix of the old and new languages.

You can change existing users' language settings with the userOptions.php maintenance script. They will still be able to change their settings back unless you disable that option (see below).

// disable language selection
$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'language';
// if you want to disable variants as well
$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'variant';
$wgHiddenPrefs[] = 'noconvertlink';
$wgLanguageCode = 'pt-br';
