this is a dupe of bug 887918 (not sure if you want to dupe or you want to keep one open for Buri, one for Leo)

From 887918:
I think this is a wontfix.  The language selector is for the *content* - the UI language is determined by the device OS locale setting.  Changing the device setting to Spanish results in wikipedia's UI being in Spanish.

This seems to be consistent with how other apps handle UI language.

If anyone has any strong feelings on this please re-open.
