In response to Guido's statements:

1) the users language preference in known and can be easily set at the
time an account is created

Good point.  For new accounts I think you would expect to need to be
prompted for choosing a language.

2) there is an user interface in the desktop environment to select the
language of a session

Yes.  I'd be interested to know if desktop environment intentionally do
not provide this functionality?

3) every user of the system will be able to navigate in the system's
default language to this interface in order to change it to his
preferred/native language

This goes back to point 1) - if you haven't set the language then you
really need to be prompted
