Looking more closely, it seems that the last \language setting is
applied to all chords. See what happens with the following snippet:

%%%

 \language "deutsch"    \chords { b }
 \language "nederlands" \chords { bes }
 \language "français"   \chords { sib }
 \language "english"

%%%

But you’re right, it _is_ a bit of a mess. (I’m not even sure
chordNoteNamer works anymore.) In my defence, note-naming functions
were even much more of an ugly mess, full of code duplication and
hardcoded stuff before my recent work on it -- but there is still a
long way to go.

Your proposal sounds rather nice (and consistent with what I’ve just
implemented for NoteNames); I’ll post a patch soon.

Cheers,
