I would use two case: multiple users on one machine want different
languages; and one user want occasionally use session with different
language from it's main. In both cases in way for people without any
computer skills ;). Fortunately contrary to You all languages are
those using ISO8859-1/-2 charsets (maybe rarely cyrillic alphabet).

What You mean with "shared directories"? They are homes  "Desktop" /
 "Music" / "Downloads" / "Movies" /... ? If yes, then I have no problem
with it, they can stay in English for all.
