How to change preference pane unlock dialog language? During the Mountain Lion installation I have selected the English language as the system language. However, the dialog asking for my password – that appears when you need to install an application, or when you want to unlock a preference pane – is in Dutch. I'm currently in The Netherlands, but I don't see how this might be related to the language of one type of dialog.

I haven't been to other countries yet with this MacBook Pro, so don't know if it's actually dependent on location.

How can I fix this issue?
In the end I solved the problem by removing all languages except English from the list found in System Preferences -&gt; Language &amp; Text and restarted.
