Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control Advanced Installation and Configuration Guide 11g has the following section:

How can you change the language used in Enterprise Manager Grid Console?

By default, the Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation Wizard installs Enterprise Manager Grid Control console with English language. If you want to view them in another language, then select the required languages in the Select Languages screen of the installation wizard.

Note: The language you select here changes the language used in the Enterprise Manager Grid Control console screens only; it does NOT change the language used in the installation wizard screens. The language of the installation wizard screens is based on the operating system language.

When you select additional languages to install, the installation wizard also installs fonts required to display the languages.

For some components, languages are installed only if you select them during installation. In this case, if you access the application in a language that is not available, it reverts to the locale language.

For other components, available languages are installed regardless of what you select during installation. In this case, however, fonts are installed only for the languages that are explicitly selected. When you access the application, it uses text in your language because the language was installed. However, if you do not have the appropriate fonts to render the text, the text appears as square boxes. This usually applies to the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages.

Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) locking SYSMAN account

Benoit, you actually had a partial answer, everything you said was correct, but after next reboot, the account locked. After several hours of more research, the following issue was discovered, with the appropriate resolution.

Enterprise Manager had the default SYSMAN password stored for its credentials, and was trying to lock in with that password in rapid succession (300 times a minute or so according to the Event Log). Hence, after several rapid tries with the same wrong password, Oracle locks the account.

Setting a new password in SQL*PLUS or SQL Developer doesn't reset the password used to login to Enterprise Manager, to reset the password in enterprise manager, you need to open a command prompt and do the following:

emctl config oms sso -remove
emctl stop oms
emctl start oms

During the above commands, it'll prompt you for the current SYSMAN password, which you can enter, and it should remove the SYSMAN password used by your Enterprise Manager Console, replacing it with the one you just entered.

Oracle Enterprise Manager read-only access for non-administrative users

You allow a non-admin user access to the Performance area of OEM by granting them the OEM_MONITOR role. However, be aware that this role does have a few additional priviliges that you may not want to provide. In that case I would create a similar role to OEM_MONITOR but with a reduced set of privileges.
