When I give a demo to my friend, I want the desktop environment to use my
friend's language.

When I give a presentation, I want the desktop environment to use the
language of the audience.

Often in a language with diglossia, the desktop environment uses exoglossia
and the user uses endoglossia. Therefore, the user will not undertand some
of the messages.

In the above cases, the feature will be useful.
