 yes, a context switch could make sense and is fairly easy. Just needs a
 second stack.

 Yes: An author should get a comment moderation email in their language.
 But `switch_to_locale( get_user_locale() );` should work, I think.


 > As these two tickets are so tied to each other, should we perhaps merge
 the patches?

 No, but we should maybe move the other one to 4.7 too. :)
