Comment (by swissspidy):

 Thanks for the patch, @Nikschavan!

 I don't think that logic should be inside `get_locale()` though. Plus,
 there probably needs to be more robust sanitization.

 We could add this to `wp-settings.php` directly, however we could also
 leverage `switch_to_locale()` inside `wp-login.php`. Seems cleaner to me
 this way.

 Perhaps we could even add a link to switch the language back to the site's
 locale if that makes sense.

 Any thoughts?
