Hmmmm.... Okay, let me spell this out.
Forget the Translate extension and Special:MyLanguage (correct me if I
misspelled this page). Let's go in like 2010+/-.
We have a policy page in English (and the wiki default language is English -
all language stuff is supplied by LanguageEn (not correct technically, but I
hope you get it)). We have a translation of that policy in Russian (the default
wiki language is still English - all language stuff in #mw-content is delivered
by LanguageEn).
Did you see that? On that page we would have two plural forms instead of three
(or four, like CLDR defines/would like to define), no grammar rules (in
English, wuut?), English-style formatting (123,567.123 instead of Russian-style
123 567,123), English-written dates etc. etc.
So I don't get your misunderstanding of how the interface language influences
the content language of the page. It just doesn't. When you surf the Commons
with English interface, you will unlikely get English contents on the Russian
page, right? :) So why on the Russian page should the content language rely on
your interface settings?

You may be mixing up translated pages with such things like Autotranslate,
which exploits a hack of {{int:lang}}. If it's not fixed, then you will
continue to be delivered Autotranslate'd templates in your interface message.
That's what I can see.

Sorry if I don't get the point. Please clarify then,
thanks.
