Hi Pascal (and others), This impacts also people who are bilingual (or especially immigrants) -- so if a phone shipped in Brazil has Portuguese and English, that is not enough for a Chinese speaker residing in Brazil where he/she might want to use Chinese to SMS or email with friends and family elsewhere. So ideally we should have the iPhone situation where all languages are installed; failing that, allowing after-market addition of new languages would be highly useful too. If we lock down the languages to just a few selected ones, we would be like the old Windows Mobile (where for licensing and market control reasons, each version of Windows Mobile is just English + the local language, very painful for some people).
I would understand if the first release won't be able to support this but I sure hope we get that support enabled asap afterwards.
