Well, why not hack up I18n a bit?

Let I18n.locale be the content locale, but hack in a new I18n.ui_locale
method, and a I18n.ui_translate method that wraps I18n.translate inside a
I18n.with_locale(I18n.ui_locale) {...}

Then you can mix ui and content freely by simply calling different
translation methods for them.

Or something... never tried it. Personally I'd just use I18n.with_locale
here and there, but we don't mix locales as much.

PS. I had fun looking up how I18n.locale is stored (considering I18n is a
module).
