I can't see that there is an issue here. I'd think that either was OK if you have rangeof languges to choose from!

NICE question. That got me thinking.
There is a difference in parsing. In the text below, I'm using brackets to indicate precedence. It works like this:
1. Call out in THE (language of your choice)
2. Call out in (A language) of your choice
So, whether you use 1 or 2 depends on what you attach the article to. As Suzi said, however, both are correct.
