Yes, we can.
If the site is in multi language already -> under user account page (user/1/edit) -> There is a section called Language settings -> select the language you want for the users -> Whenever users login -> The site should be default in this language.
Remember under admin/settings/language/configure make sure that you check the 3rd checkbox called "Path Prefix with language fallback". This option help to determine the language of the site in the following sequence:
1. Does incoming path begin with path prefix (en, fr, etc)? If no then
2. Does current users have a preferred language? -> this is set in the above step of user account page, if no then
3. Does browser have a preferred language set? if no then
4. Set the site to default language (normally in English if you didn't customize)
Well, hope that help
