 The Admin Bar uses a different locale depending on whether it is displayed
 in the admin backend or on the site frontend.

 In the admin backend, it uses the user's selected language. On the site
 frontend, it uses the site's language.

 Since the Admin Bar is a user-specific interface element, it should
 consistently use the user's selected language in both contexts.

 This becomes confusing when the Admin Bar appears in German in the admin
 backend, but in English on the site frontend for the same logged-in user.
