Right, I worked on this initial pattern team and that was our goal for having the “Additional fields” design. This could include things like Domain selection or Location as we saw when we reviewed oVirt. I do agree with Kyle that the use of multiple languages with the application after logging in might need to be a pattern in itself, but the login piece is meant to be supported by just adding an additional field.

Hope this helps!

With the current usage this feature is not generic enough to be included by default in the login pattern for now. This does not mean that you can not utilize the interaction in your application work. There is a mockup for his in mojo under the RHEV RCUE adoption section.
