I think the correct layer to do this in is the session layer, rather
than by getting the user to explicitly choose a language. This is
because (as I understand it) users do not need to pick a particular
language, but instead have a small set they use.
This could be accomplished by making new sessions /usr/share/xsessions
/gnome-en.desktop and /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-zh.desktop which are
copies of /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop. This would mean the user
could choose the session language from the session type combo box.
In /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99locale-session, you can check for the session and
override the users locale settings, i.e.:
if [ $DESKTOP_SESSION = "gnome-en" ] ; then
LANG=en_US.utf8
DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome
elif [ $DESKTOP_SESSION = "gnome-zh" ] ; then
LANG=zh_CN.utf8
DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome
fi
(This is not tested and theoretical)
