Language Localization for Unauthenticated Sites

I have a public unauthenticated site that I am working to deploy to other countries and other languages besides English.  My first one will be in Spanish.  I have converted everything to labels and have added Spanish translation to the labels.  My intent is to change the language by hitting the page with a "lang" query string.  

 

However, even when I test by manually setting the language parameter in the apex:page tag, nothing is being translated.  Everything is always in English no matter what I do.  What's going on here?  Is there something special about doing translation for Force.com sites?

 

Page tag:

<apex:page controller="CalcController" sidebar="false"  showHeader="false" language="es">

 

Example label tag (has a Spanish translation but is always displaying in English)

{!$Label.denotes_required_field}
