This use case was obvious for Wikimedia Commons before Translate extension was
widely deployed:
We have a lot of pages in lots of languages in one wiki, and every one of those
pages would like to rely on core-driven language functions like plurals or
grammar converter, as well as number and dates formatting.
Now, with Translate extension there is no need to bother oneself with this, as
every translated page is delivered with a proper content language via a hook in
ContentHandler, based on the page title (title/langcode, like as in MediaWiki
namespace).
However, theoretically, Translate may not cover every use case, and there could
be a need to return to a generic page written in a language different from the
default one. I cannot pick an example, but who knows, there may be some of
them.
FYI, an allegedly working PoC (language is switched by a direct change in DB
there :P ): Id63573a7f
