Description
See ticket:29783:59.
WP_Locale_Switcher uses get_locale()/get_user_locale() to set the original locale. Both functions can return a fatal error if WordPress isn't fully initialized. [38976] tries to fix this but in a bad way. wp_load_translations_early() sets the locale based on various factors like WPLANG or $wp_local_package. [38976] assumes that it's always en_US.
I'm not aware of a use case where someone would need to switch locales while the site is crashing. I'm proposing to revert [38976] and [38977] and to remove WP_Locale_Switcher from wp_load_translations_early().
