Hello: The following may be of interest: I used the Region and Language section of System Settings to change my language to Spanish. As instructed under the System tab I used "Copy Settings" to change my settings for the System to Spanish. I rebooted and the Login dialog continued to display "Password:". I changed the setting in /etc/sysconfig/i18n to LANG="es_ES.utf8". When I rebooted it had become Contraseña: as it should be in Spanish. In the Region and Language setup of System Settings I changed the language back to US English and left the file i18n set to Spanish. When I rebooted Password: was Contraseña: as I had suspected it would be. I am using Fedora 17 with Gnome Shell 3.4.1 on the system I used for testing. It looks like the System Settings are not actually changing the system language. It appears PAM is getting its setting from i18n.
