 I would like to suggest a change to use separate language switchers for
 the site and the admin pages.

 '''Use case:'''
 An english speaking administator is managing a swedish site. The content
 is created by an swedish speaking translator, but the english speaking
 administrator also has to use the site. Right now both the site and the
 admin pages has to be in swedish which makes it hard for the administrator
 to use the interface.

 '''Proposed changes:'''
 - The admin interface uses a function ''get_admin_locale'' instead of
 get_locale. ''get_admin_locale'' gets its setting from an option with key
 ADMINLANG, but falls back to WPLANG option if missing.
 - A filter ''admin_locale'' is used in the ''get_admin_locale'' function
 to support extended functionality. (For example user specific settings)
