 How possible is it to enable a language switcher in the user profile for
 the admin area?

 My reason for this (and I am not alone) is I work with a lot of
 international clients and they use a whole raft of different languages,
 from chinese to Russian.

 We can use plugins to change the frontend language but if a Chinese client
 asks me to look into an issue in their site admin, I need to change the
 default WP language in WP config to English, do what I need to do and then
 change it back.

 Another example, lets say I run a blog (similar to Mashable) where there
 are loads of different contributors from around the world, it would be
 much easier for them to see the admin in their native language.

 Is this something WP would be looking at adding in the future (I think it
 would be a great benefit to the internalisation of WP).
