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. -- Masatran, R. Deepak <http://research.iiit.ac.in/~masatran/>
