The language selection in the ISOLINUX screen sounds like a good
solution. It's what openSUSE and Ubuntu are doing as well and therefore
shouldn't be too hard to implement.
It would also have the huge advantage to solve this problem for the
other desktops as well, who have not yet found a way of dealing with
this it seems (KDE, XFCE and LXDE all autologin you to an english
desktop).

CCing the spins list as this might be an interesting thread for them.
