Click the Start button.
Click Control Panel.
Under the Category view, click the Clock, Language, and Region link and right after that click Change Display Language link located under the “Region and Language” section.
Under Icon view, click Region and Language icon, and click the Keyboards and Languages tab.
Under the “Display Language” section, choose and change language from the drop-down menu.
Click Apply.
Restart your computer for the change to take effect.

If you want to change the language of the welcome screen, network services, local system. If you also wish to change the language of new user accounts, follow this other procedure:

Click the Administrative tab in the “Region and Language” window.
Under the “Welcome screen and new user accounts” section, click the Copy settings button.
Now, in the “Welcome screen and new user accounts” dialog box, tick the Welcome screen and system accounts and New user accounts checkbox.

I’m working in a windows domain, and I need certain users to be able to switch their language to japanese and back to english. Logged in as myself with an administrator account, I can do this, but for a normal user, the drop-down box to select language is unavailable, and it says “as a guest user, you cannot change the display language.” What do I need to do to these accounts so they are not “guest users?”
Thanks.

Hi- I bought a Dell computer in Japan with Windows 7 Ultimate on it and can`t change the language from japanese to English using the method above .. Dell Japan Support say that it`s impossible aswell .. Is this really true?
