Is resetting the original content preference when switching interface language in the header dropdown intended

The language dropdown in the header resets the Show original content instead of translated content. preference. Is this intended? For me, this was confusing. I expected it to only adjust the interface language.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enable the show original content preference - don’t forget to save the change.
  2. Reload and select another language in your preferences - save that too.
  3. Reload again: Expected and actual result: The checkbox to show original content is still selected.
  4. Use the dropdown in the header to change the interface language.
    Expected result: The checkbox to show original content is still checked.
    Actual result: Showing original content is no longer enabled.

I really liked having a quicker option to switch my interface language to take a screenshot. Since the dropdown now not only changes the language preference, I still have to visit my preferences to reset everything to how I had configured it before.
