The problem there is that the wizard sets up the environment that the 
shell then runs in (mostly language). But it's not just the shell, it's 
all services (indicators, scopes etc.), we'd need to restart them anyway 
after language is changed, because switching languages live is 
significant effort for very small return. We probably just need to look 
at why unity8 takes so long to start and see what we can improve.

FWIW, this will improve with QML precompilation just as app startup
will.

Title:
  Unity8 takes too long to start

Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  mako #172

  On first boot of the phone, there is a delay of 20s (5s of black screen and 15s of spinner) between the wizard and the edge intro.
  It should be much shorter to improve the first time boot experience.
