 The
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html
 /wp-content/plugins/rosetta/inc/class-plugin.php#L84 Rosetta option
 overrides] respect the user locale, rather than the site locale.

 When browsing ja.wordpress.org/wp-admin with a `en_US` user locale, the
 `timezone_string`/`gmt_offset` will be set to `''`/`0`, rather than the
 expected `Asia/Tokyo`.

 Either the Rosetta Locale should be respected for the purpose of option
 overrides, or they should be removed and locale sites should just set the
 appropriate options themselves.
