A few comments for reference.
1. This is blocked by LP: #1631750
2. It would duplicate the language selector in the installer
3. For the existing-user mode in gnome-initial- setup, the user would need to log out and log back in for the language change to take effect.
Because of #2 and #3 Fedora 28 has also disabled their language selector for existing-user mode. They did it with their vendor.conf and reduce- initial- setup-redundanc y.patch. The language selector is still available there for new-user-mode (what OEMs can use. We could also use it if we tell ubiquity not to set up the initial user.)

existing-user mode runs as an app in the logged in session.
new-user mode is a special mode in GDM so the app runs full screen and the user logs in afterwards. It also includes a page to set the username and password and an optional page to set the timezone too.
