Yes, you're right. I've looked again into Extbase's LocalizationUtility and our old project sources. We did it different - we didn't store current language (it was an idea, taht's why I remember it) - we used early hook to change website's language from selected by user to the one, that is set in hid profile. So it is different situation.

And talking about your case, I can see only dirty method: using reflection, make $LOCAL_LANG and $languageKey properties accessible, unset $LOCAL_LANG[$extensionName] and set $languageKey  to your desired language - so initializeLocalization() method will re-inint labels. And then put it all back.
But, I really hope, that there is much cleaner solution, because for me it looks now as "hack the hack".
