- 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.

Hello, I read the information and the comments above. If you can help me with a question that seems to be simple: I live in Japan and I want to buy a new pc bundle with Ultimate. I’ve just read that Jhinge can’t change the language in his Dell pc and the support service says it’s impossible: Is that possible? or, the guy didn’t really change it properly? or the people from DELL have no clue???
I’d appreciate if you can answer my question. Thanks.

Edgardo: If you install Win7 in Japanese you cant change that language later, I tried for about a day of searches, I found it easier to just make a new installation of Win7 with the language I needed. Those pre-installed pc, notebooks are crap, they come with way too much stuff that nobody needs and nobody really uses.
