Did you use the 'Login Screen' button on the 'Region & Language' panel when changing the language ?
Created attachment 846350 [details] 'Region and Language' setting window Hi Matthias I am not sure which button you are talking about, but clicking 'Language' opens new window to choose the language. This window was used for selection. I will attach the screenshots of 'Region & Language' window and new window opened by clicking 'Language'. This was a part of QA test performed, and the result was FAILED due to this problem. https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/104491/#caserun_4032879

Oh, I think we are only showing the 'Login Screen' button when there are multiple user accounts.

Did you reboot or just logged out? Did you use the overlay that shows up on top of the Settings window with a button to log out? > > Check translations and short-cut keys in the screen. > Run from terminal: # gdm -h > > * Original setting was Japanese, and changed it to English (US) > > Actual results: > 1) Log In screen is still Japanese after log-out > 2) Logged in, the screen is partially black out (see attachment: > settings-language1.png) This file isn't attached. I suspect this is the same issue reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1015257 which has been fixed in Fedora and AFAICT should be fixed in rhel 7 too at this point. Can you try with a more recent build ?
Created attachment 864991 [details] ja screenshot of lang config with logout restart button Noriko, I think this is the logout dialog overlay that the Desktop team was referring to above. (I don't think I have seen your issue either but probably running gdm from console is not a good idea anyway.)
too late for rhel 7.0
