I'd want this on the software too.

The 'Subir este archivo' link on the tool section sends you to 
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload?uselang=es
However, this message will still show from other links.

As how we did it, Alphax, we decided it on a poll 
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votaciones/2006/Cambiar_pol%C3%ADticas_y_reglas_de_uso_de_im%C3%A1genes 
and then asked it on bugzilla :-)

About language selecting on login, commons had recently set a lenguage 
selector on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Userlogin so you can 
easily change the language on the login. This will stay when as your 
preference when you create an account (sorry, pms is not on the list, but 
you can always use the ?uselang=pms).
