     Actually what you need to do is setup your initial context to prompt the
user for what language they want, then you use a Goto to change to the proper
context for the language and use the SetLanguage() command to set the proper
language from that point on.  The prompt should tell the caller which number
for which language, you can have as many options as you want.

[in-calls]
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,Background(choose-lang)
exten => 1,1,Goto(spanish,s,1)
exten => 2,1,Goto(english,s,1)

[spanish]
exten => s,1,SetLanguage(es)
... do something else

[english]
exten => s,1,SetLanguage(en)
.. do something else
