Comment:

 In [attachment:29783.3.diff]:

 * Remove `is_admin()` check in `get_user_locale()`
 * Move `is_admin()` check to `load_default_textdomain()` so the admin is
 always in the user's locale by default
 * Loads `{$locale}.php` for both the site locale and the user locale. (Not
 100% sure about this one).
 * Adjusts tests.

 [attachment:user-language-admin-toolbar.php] is a proof-of-concept plugin
 that, when applying the patch from #26511, changes the toolbar language
 depending on the user's locale, but keeps the rest of the site in the
 site's locale. See
 https://twitter.com/swissspidy/status/773571032963751936 for a screenshot.
 For sending emails etc. this can be done similarly.
