Comment (by khromov):

 I'd like to second a filter. I author the "English WordPress Admin"*
 plugin and the introduction of wp_dropdown_languages() has made it so that
 if you hook on the locale filter to change locale to "en_US", the dropdown
 will have English selected when the user visits options-general.php, so
 when the user saves the options, he will have changed his site language by
 mistake.

 It may not actually be right to filter the locale when using
 wp_dropdown_languages() at all, due to aformentioned issues with the
 settings form.
