I'd go for 2, or the reverse - there needs to be a non-localised form.
The question is whether it's the default. For backwards-compatibility
reasons, it might be better to have a human=1 parameter (or better name)
and add that to the links within the product.
This has the advantage of making it fairly obvious to a dev reading the url:
http://bugzilla/buglist.cgi?human=1
what to do to make it machine-readable.
