Well, you need the reinitialise the cluster with the correct language.
Once initiailised it doesn't matter what you restore with.

Well, I'm worked on COLLATE support which would get it down to the
column level. This is pretty much what you need, since indexes could be
shared between databases and each database needs the same definition
for those indexes.
I'm got a fair way but got a little over my head, so unless someone
picks it up and completes it, it could be a while...
Have a nice day,
