 I was just working on a clients site, that uses a foreign '''global'''
 locale (Swedish, to be precise).

 They have permalinks set to the ''default'' localization, so archive is
 '''Arkiv''', WooCommerce products uses '''Produkt''' and so forth.

 In my user profile I have the locale set to EN, and needed to refresh the
 permalinks after a change. When I visited the permalinks edit screen, it
 was all localized to my user language, including the actual permalinks. So
 I saw "archive"/"product".

 After saving, the site literally "broke". All the links using foreign
 permalinks stopped working. I had to switch my account locale to match the
 sites global setting (again, Swedish) and then re-save. This switched it
 all back to normal.


 == Steps to reproduce ==

 1. Switch your '''user''' locale to something different than the main
 sites {{{/wp-admin/profile.php}}}.
 2. Visit the {{{/wp-admin/options-permalink.php}}} screen, and click save.
 3. Permalinks now will follow your user locale, where-as it seems more
 logical for them to always use the sites global language.
