Currently, autosummaries are not part of the interface, but are saved in the
database verbatim. This means that for every revision, there's only one summary
in one language that everybody sees. For this reason, it's undesirable to have
this stored in the UI language, because then an edit made by a Brazilian person
would show an edit summary in pt-br for everyone.

It's in includes/GlobalFunctions.php . What it does is format a message in the
content language as opposed to the UI language.
