Comment (by ocean90):

 Replying to [comment:36 swissspidy]:
 > Looks like `$locale = get_locale();` in `options-general.php` needs to
 be `$locale = get_option('WPLANG');`, otherwise the user locale will
 always be selected.

 See #31318 why we can't do that.

 To workaround polluting the global `$locale` we can leave the
 `get_locale()` call:

 {{{
 $locale = get_locale();

 $user_locale = get_user_locale();
 $locale_file = WP_LANG_DIR . "/$user_locale.php";
 if ( ( 0 === validate_file( $user_locale ) ) && is_readable( $locale_file
 ) )
         require( $locale_file );
 unset( $locale_file, $user_locale );
 }}}
