I haven't looked in any detail at how changing the default language is done
for live images, but what I can tell you is that any configuration changes
that you can make via grub.cfg are allowed under SecureBoot. So if you can
figure out what your grub.cfg should look like for this, then it should be
possible to do.
Anything that refers to gfxboot is not relevant, because we don't use
(BIOS-only) gfxboot under UEFI.
