Since 4.7, you should do the following:

function wp_noshor_redefine_locale($locale) {
    if( is_admin() ):
        switch_to_locale('en_US');
    endif;
}
add_filter('init','wp_noshor_redefine_locale');

this changes the dashbaord to English while setting front-end to the language you choose from the setting option.

Setup your site in the desired language in the admin settings and then download this plugin. In it you can setup the language for your admin backend side only ;)

I wanted to change the language in the front-end and keep the language in the backend the same. I tried using adding a filter to in function.php but that didn't work for me. What did was using a plugin - Backend localization

You can do the following:

  1. Get the the language pack (e.g. de_DE.mo) from wordpress.org. If the language pack isn't available as a standalone download, you could also use the .mo file which is bundled in the WordPress ZIP-file for your language. Located under wp-content/languages.
  2. Move the .mo file to wp-content/languages/ of your default (english) WordPress installation.
  3. Change the WPLANG constant in wp-config.php to the new locale (e.g. de_DE)
  4. In your functions.php add the following filter:

functions.php

add_filter('locale', 'wpse27056_setLocale');
function wpse27056_setLocale($locale) {
    if ( is_admin() ) {
        return 'en_US';
    }

    return $locale;
}
