This option could easily affect the LANG, LANGUAGE, LC_ALL or similar variables at shell level, otherwise set by the .xsession configuration, heavily affected by distributions.

If you want the behavior of GDM to be changed, the best way to
accomplish that is to first log a bug report/enhancement request in
GNOME Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/
Use the "GDM" component in this case.

In the bug report/enhancement request, please explain in detail what
behavior you want changed, and why. If you can provide and attach
patches yourself, it's even better.

Most people subscribed to the gnome-i18n@gnome.org list are translators,
and I'm not sure any GDM developer is, so this list alone is probably
not the best forum for technical GDM discussions and requests.

Currently I'm heavily involved in developing Motif applications and it would hurt my brain to think in gtk+ ;) Though I'm planning to start programming gtk+ in the recent future...

You're in luck; recently there was a new book released:
