It's not really about getting into the program but rather configuring the program. Gcompris uses the locale from the environment by default, like all well-behaved programs do, but you can go to the configuration screen and choose another locale if you want to. Then you need to exit Gcompris and start it again before the change takes effect on the whole program, so I doubt that the intention is that children should choose their locale every time they start Gcompris. I haven't quite figured out why the developers felt a need to have a separate locale setting just for Gcompris, but in those cases where it's needed I think a parent or teacher will configure the program and then tell the children not to touch the settings. > BTW, gcompris, has audio in various languages for children to learn > from.

In that case I would suggest a recorded voice that says "Should I speak English?" and the equivalent in each language – if the intention really is that children who can't read should be able to choose their language.
