The `WP_INSTALLING` constant is a flag that WordPress sets in a number of
places, telling the system that options should be fetched directly from the
database instead of from the cache, that WP should not ping wordpress.org for
updates, that the normal "not installed" checks should be bypassed, and so on.
A constant is generally necessary for this purpose, because the flag is
typically set before the WP bootstrap, meaning that WP functions are not yet
available. However, it is possible - notably, during `wpmu_create_blog()` -
for the "installing" flag to be set after WP has already loaded. In these
cases, `WP_INSTALLING` would be set for the remainder of the process, since
there's no way to change a constant once it's defined. This, in turn, polluted
later function calls that ought to have been outside the scope of site
creation, particularly the non-caching of option data. The problem was
particularly evident in the case of the automated tests, where `WP_INSTALLING`
was set the first time a site was created, and remained set for the rest of the
suite.
The new `wp_installing()` function allows developers to fetch the current
installation status (when called without any arguments) or to set the
installation status (when called with a boolean `true` or `false`). Use of
the `WP_INSTALLING` constant is still supported; `wp_installing()` will default
to `true` if the constant is defined during the bootstrap.

* Corrects phrasing used in the descriptions for and filters in `_n()` and `_nx()`, particularly with regard to the use of 'singular' instead of 'single' or '1', and 'plural' instead of 'not 1'.
* Adds example usage to `_n()`, `_nx()`, `_nx_noop()`, and `translate_nooped_plural()`.
* Adds hash notation `@return` doc for `_n_noop()` and `_nx_noop()`.
* Adds missing default values for the optional `$domain` parameter in several places.

* A variant of a language has its own locale, for example the locale of the formal variant of German is `de_DE_formal`.
* Update `remove_accents()` and some CSS rules to support `de_DE_formal`.
* Add tests for `get_bloginfo( 'language' )`.
* API changes will be deployed over the next few days.

The language dropdown now includes installed languages and all available translations when the filesystem is writable by WordPress.
Go to wp-admin/options-general.php, select one of the available translations, submit the form and let WordPress handle the rest.
Works for Multisite's Default Language too.

* The WPLANG constant is no longer needed. Remove define('WPLANG', ''); from wp-config-sample.php. Populate WPLANG option based on the WPLANG constant. When get_option('WPLANG') is an empty string it will override WPLANG.
* Introduce translations_api() which is available to communicate with the translation API. Move translation install related functions to a new file.
* Replace mu_dropdown_languages() with wp_dropdown_languages(). wp_dropdown_languages() is now populated by the translation API.
* Remove wp_install_load_language() and allow load_default_textdomain() to switch a core translation.

This directory format is what we have chosen for Language Packs (See #18200), but which is currently delayed.
By making this change, we can ship localised theme files within core for bundled themes, and avoid the issues associated with Theme Updates overwriting/removing the language files.

This is good for when the code registering the plural is not also translating it. This occurs
in core with register_post_status(), which accepts a nooped plural as an argument, and then
calls translate_nooped_plural() without a domain.
translate_nooped_plural() can still be called with a domain. The argument will just be overridden
if the nooped plural contains a domain key.
