Lockscreen in a different language

Lockscreen in a different language

I recently received my rMBP and noticed a weird quirk. My system language and keyboard settings are Canadian as it should be, but my lock screen is in Finnish....

The password field has shadow text that says "Salasana" and below it is an X icon that says "Kumoa" (which I assume to be close).

The top right also shows my keyboard setting as "Kanadanenglati".

Small detail, but it's beginning to annoy me lol How do I go about changing this to English?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

In your login screen on the very top right corner you should see a flag. You can select the language that you want to use from that pulldown menu.

That flag only determines the keyboard layout used for inputting text and does not have any affect on the language displayed on the screen.

Hi All,

I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display and have the same problem. I set everything to English and my region to US. This is a little nutty. There must be some bug as this appears to be a repeatable issue.

Any more thoughts on how to fix?

Thanks,
