I find it very hard to believe that people come to think "hey, let's 
switch the language" as part of the update progress. I'd have these 
questions:
* why do you want to switch the language? Bad download? Intended 
download but the quality of language sucked? Want to learn a new 
language and switching your browser is the best way forward? Others?
* why do you consider software update to be a good time to do that?

It very much sounds to me like we should rather solve the problem 
they're having than going for the proposed fix.
