Hum... I imagine you mean people without any Latine inheritance in their culture. Those words are very good words on way more languages than English.
Those words are also shared with other domains, where they have compatible meanings, and that intersect the usage in computer systems. So you'd better fix them there too.
Besides "permission" is not a verb, and "login" is one between a lot of different ways to authenticate people. What do you intend to do with the correct meaning of those words once you overload them?
