Comment (by Marc4):
Thank you all for your comments :)
The idea is that you can select a language for the back end and a
different one for the front end.
As @audrasjb says, now, when you select spanish in the back end, some
texts of the web change from english to spanish, independently of the
theme you use, like for example the date texts, created by, the texts of
the comments interface, etc. Also the "lang" tag in the header changes
from <html lang="en"> to <html lang="es"> indicating a different language
to browsers, indexing robots, etc.
This could all be solved by offering language separation for the back-end
and front-end, so that users could use the back-end in their
native/preferred language without affecting the front-end.
Now someone with no WordPress experience can change the language on the
back-end without inferring that it will also change the language on the
front-end, and that's a problem.
I think being able to have different languages on the back-end and front-
end is a logical feature for both new and experienced users.
