Good point.
<muse> I imagine if you are working primarily in one language that is
the case, you wouldn't switch languages after logging on. If you are
doing work in at least two languages, it depends, at least in my own
experience. If it is just me, whatever, I understand what I am working
with. If I am working with someone else, then this can change. I
personally have switched the language on my own system to show something
in a common language, but not bothered to switch the login language.
Less time consuming. The products my company makes are used a lot in
Education, so there definitely are multilingual situations there. BUT
this sort of thing won't happen very much during install time. <endmuse>
Yes, it works fine if I login in French. So it is probably as you say: a
Finder artifact. I can't do much about it because it is the
Authorization Framework.
Still, I think it breaks the flow of things-I think that the application
should show completely in one language once it starts running in that
language.
Thanks for the insight Neal and Greg.

You can't, but shouldn't worry about it. It the Authorization
Framework that is displaying the authorization dialog box, and it is
using the system localizations. If you were to try this experiment on
a System that was actually running with French localizations, the
authentication dialog would display in French.
