Comment (by swissspidy):

 Yes I see where you added the language selector, thanks.

 My question is just: when you select the language, what happens? What is
 now displayed in this new language?

 Right now the user language is used for the admin, the site language for
 the frontend.

 Is the suggestion that this new field would be used for the admin _as long
 as the user has not changed their language_?

 That sounds a bit confusing to me, as per my example above: Let's say my
 site language is es_ES and my user language is de_DE. Now I change the
 admin language to fr_FR. What is now displayed in fr_FR?
