Setting lightdm-gtk-greeter language

Hello,

I need some help to set a language (hungarian) to lightdm's gtk-greeter.
I don't see any options for this, and the greeter does not respect the system-wide locale...

Here is what I get with $locale:

LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_TIME=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_NAME=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=hu_HU.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

All the greeters messages are in english. Why?

[EDIT]

OK, it seems that lightdm finds the locale settings in /etc/environment.
(According to this: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Softwar … DM/Design/ ;  look for /etc/environment)
If I set the locale in that file, lightdm uses the correct locale.

My question is:

Should I file a bug/feature request, and if it is the case,
should I report it upstream or to the arch maintainer of lightdm?

Re: Setting lightdm-gtk-greeter language

Insert it in /var/lib/lightdm/.pam_environment (And prevent from upgrade in pacman.conf)

For me half of the greeter is translated :<
