Admin bar language switcher in admin area

[simonwheatley]

On the current develop branch, you can use the language switcher in the admin bar to change the locale context for editing; i.e. view all German post translations on the wp-admin/edit.php list table. I think this should not be possible, and that the admin bar language switcher should not be available in the admin area now we have admin UI localisation using the UI in the user profile page.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit the admin area > All Posts
2. In the admin bar hover the selector indicating the current language (probably the site canonical language), and pick another language
3. You should see the posts displayed change to the post translations for the language you selected

@johnbillion We discussed this on Skype, but then I was away and haven't had an opportunity to reproduce. Can you take a look, please? This smells like a regression.

This is definitely expected behaviour. If this wasn't the case then you would have to switch your admin UI language each time you wanted to browse content in another language.

I wasn't expecting to have to switch admin UI language to browse another language, I was expecting to browse translations via the translation jobs area. I'm trying to get my head around whether this is as clear as it should be for users.

Switched from "bug" to "question", and removed from Code Review milestone. :smiley:
