Comment (by apedog):

 Thanks :)
 Plugins are a partial solution. They basically do what
 {{{get_user_locale()}}} provides natively. They're not much use since
 WordPress 4.7.

 For example, they cannot help when ''other'' plugins use
 {{{determine_locale()}}} to generate text/logs. Especially if those other
 plugins don't operate with {{{user_logged_in}}} so they default to
 {{{WPLANG}}}

 A recent example I had is Easy Updates Manager plugin that logs automatic
 updates (so no {{{user_locale}}}). Some of the updated plugins have
 translation strings and some don't - resulting in a mixed LTR/RTL report.
 There is no obvious way to tell EUM plugin ''NOT'' to use site locale when
 generating the report.
