Hello: I continued testing and found that the unlock screen gets its language from apparently the System Setting Region and Language setup. When I locked the screen and then brought up the unlock dialog it read Password: if the system settings are set to English and the i18n is set to Spanish. I set the system settings to Spanish and left the i18n set to Spanish and both login and unlock dialogs read Contraseña: instead of Password: .... Hope this is of use.
