 Replying to [comment:37 swissspidy]:
 > Not sure if the `wp_lang` part needs some additional sanitization by
 checking if the locale is part of `get_available_languages()` (or equals
 `en_US`)

 To close the loop on this, `wp-login.php` doesn't currently validate
 `$_GET['wp_lang']` against a whitelist, so I don't think it's necessary to
 in this case. `WP_Locale_Switcher->switch_to_locale()` is a no-op if
 `$locale` isn't available in `$this->available_languages`.

 Reopening for merge to trunk.
