As a native English speaker I prefer "locale", but I can see how that would be
confusing for non-native speakers.
Like Sharad suggested, I would think something simple like "Choose Language"
would suffice. If the currently selected variation is shown next to it in the
form of "English (US)" or "English (UK)", it will be obvious to people that
they can change the locale.

Nick

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
