Is there any way in Cocoa (or in Carbon) to launch an application (from a Cocoa application) by specifying a specific localization language ? It can be useful when localizing an application to be able to launch it in another language than the current one specified in the system preferences...

Yes, certainly, by using command-line arguments. Try this from a shell:

/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit -AppleLanguages "(fr, en)"

The value, e.g. "(fr, en)", must be an array of strings indicating the localizations in preference order. The quotation marks are necessary to protect the value from the shell.
