Hi Ilan,

Hmm.. You do know that you can set the language in 'System Settings ->
Language Support', right?

Anyway, I have some good news: The feature you would like to see will be
uploaded very, very soon. If you can't wait, you can even get it right
away:

1. Install the lightdm build in my PPA (once it has been built, that is
   ... it's currently in the build queue).
   https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc

2. Change the last line in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to:

      greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter

3. Change the last line in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu.conf
to

      show-language-selector=true

4. Reboot

Title:
  missing Hebrew menus at login time

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I thought I had reported this bug, but apparently not. In all versions previous to 11.10 it was possible at login time to choose your language. To many of my friends for whom English is a chore, this is extremely important. I have told them not to update until there is a solution.
  Hebrew is defined as a language on all my machines and I can use a Hebrew keyboard. What is missing from 11.10 is the ability at login of a given user, to choose to use Hebrew menus. This used to be there in all previous versions.
  Thanks,
  Ilan
