This is the situation as I understand it:
- There are users, who need to use the same session (e.g. Unity) but frequently 
switch languages, due to applications working better in one locale than another.
- In general users will not need to do this, but this is particularly useful 
for Chinese language users (who switch between Chinese and English).
- This is currently possible in GDM, as it has a language option on login (that 
is set the the users default as set in language selector).  This is not 
possible in GDM3, as they are dropping this functionality.
- LightDM does not have a language option, as the correct way to set the 
language is in the language selector in the users session (expected to be 
changed very infrequently).

Please comment if this is incorrect.
