I believe this has been discussed previously, see for example [1] and debian-boot [2]. From briefly looking at redhat's redhat-config-language program (a GUI to setup precisely this) it seem they use /etc/sysconfig/i18n for this (is there also an /etc/sysconfig/language?) which gets sourced from scripts (lang.sh, lang.csh) in /etc/profile.d to setup the user's environment and by /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions which is incorporated by init.d programs. IMHO to get init scripts localized a similar (and policy mandated) set of functions (including i18n/l10n) should be implemented. Locale configuration (or boot-floopies/d-i for that matter) should then modify those on admin's request.
