 Hello,

 While writing #3821 I noticed that using the Locale Switcher on the Logout
 page redirects you to your profile page.

 To reproduce;
 1. Make sure you're logged in.
 2. From this Trac ticket click Logout at the top of the page.
 3. From the https://login.wordpress.org/logout page use the Locale
 Switcher to select an alternate language
 4. Note that you've been redirected to your profile.

 Now if the result of #3821 is to remove the logout and loggedout pages
 from the flow and instead logout and reload current page then users won't
 be able to get to the logout page so this issue is moot.... But if the
 logout page will continue to exist moving forward then this would be an
 issue.

 I believe what happens is when the Locale Switcher is invoked the user is
 taken from the logout page to the login page with the locale appended. And
 since the login page has logic detecting if a user is logged in and
 redirecting to their profile then this occurs.

 Thanks
