Comment (by ocean90):

 Um, found another bigger issue: `switch_to_locale( get_locale() )` doesn't
 really work because of the `get_locale() === $locale` check in
 `WP_Locale_Switcher::switch_to_locale()`.

 Steps to reproduce:

 * Site language is en_US
 * User language is de_DE
 * Reply to a comment on wp-admin/edit-comments.php

 Expected: Language of the mail is en_US
 Actual: The mail was sent using user's language
