This depends on whever the site has a concept of user account, when the user wants to have the general UI of the site translated to his own personal locale independantly of the content displayed within that UI. For example in MediaWiki, one connects with his browser that sets a prefered language that can be used by default for the general site-wide UI, independantly of the content. If the user creates an acount and defines another prefered language, that language will be used for the UI (including generic page footers showing last date of update of the content). Of course the hosted article content will not have its language changed. So there's a separate language for that content. Everything is good as long as there's a clear separation of the content using its own language tag, independant of the rest of the translatable site-wide UI...
