I see your point, but as you can see from the excerpt below, it is designed as a fixed question with a variable part which is either a drop down list or fixed text depending on whether multiple languages are available.

Perhaps you can suggest some wording other than "Which language do you prefer to display your messages?" which will work better in either situation.

Note that making the entire row a variable is not a viable option as it would break any existing edited templates and would require additional messages in the 35 existing translations' message catalogs. Such a change needs to wait for a totally new GUI.

You have the ability to change this for a list by following the "Edit the public HTML pages and text files" link from the list's admin pages and editing the "General list information page" and replacing

      <tr>
        <TD BGCOLOR="#dddddd">Which language do you prefer to display your messages?</TD>
        <TD> <MM-list-langs></TD>
        <TD> </TD></TR>

with anything you want or removing it altogether.

If you want the same edit for all lists, you can make a site or domain wide version of the listinfo.html template per the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/jYA9>.
