Bug Description

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Language & Text
2. Select 'Display language...'
3. Choose e.g. francais (French) from the list
4. Confirm that System Settings is displaying text in French
5. Close System Settings

Expected result:

Language is French system-wide.

Actual result:

Language is still English. Opening System Settings shows that the text is back to English. Going to Language & Text again shows 'francais (French)' as the selected language, so this much has been persisted.

You need to restart. We should probably indicate this.
