While I agree that it's not very intuitive, it is explained - just click
the "Help" button in the Language Support window.

Actually, LightDM shouldn't have been displayed in Hebrew unless you
also clicked the "Apply System-Wide" button.

If you click the "Apply System-Wide" button and restart, the greeter
should be displayed in English.

Please let us know whether those comments are sufficient to explain the
behavior.

Title:
  LightDM is not notified properly on language change

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install Hebrew support through Settings->Language Support. Make it default interface language by moving it to the top of the list of langugaes (very unintuitive and unexplained, btw).
  2. Restart. You get a Hebrew lightDM and a Hebrew gnome.
  3. In Settings->Language Support, move Hebrew to the bottom of the list so UK English (in my case) is on top.
  4. Restart. 

  Expected result:
  An English lightDM and an English Unity/Gnome/apps.

  Actual results:
  A Hebrew lightDM and an English gnome. The control center failed to notify lightDM on the change. 
  This happened in natty with gdm also. A workaround is to uninstall Hebrew support completely, restart to an English greeter, and re-install Hebrew support.
