I am faced with same problem. The only difference I have 3 languages:
0 - German
1 - English
2 - Chinese

And now I need to swap German and English, cause Chinese editors do not 
understand German and all the pagetree made in German.

I hope it is possible. I will try to made it on my server. But this 
problem connected not only to languages, but to pages, 
pages_language_overlay, tt_content, tt_news and so on tables which are 
developed to be localized.
Also I need to reconfigure some extensions I think.

So if you solved this problem already then it would be good if you write 
me this. If not, then I will try to do it and share with everybody.

P.S. Also I use UTF-8 as codepage for website and latin1 for DB as I 
know (not sure).
