I use contentNegotiator, without assign a language to the user the language is automatically assigned by the application.

for this In config/main.php in bootstrap section start the component

'bootstrap' => [
    'log',
    'contentNegotiator',
],

in component section 

'components' => [
    'contentNegotiator' =>[
        'class' => 'yii\filters\ContentNegotiator',
        'languages' => [
                'en-US',
                'it-IT',
                'fr-FR',
        ],
    ],

],

otherwise you can change when and where you want. Is application action eg you can do in any controller you chose. this way 

 \Yii::$app->language = 'zh-CN';
