Hello, from one of our old articles, this is how to change language on windows XP
  • Click on start - it must be at the bottom left corner of the screen
  • Click on the writing next to the image of a paper with a tick on it and a pen (control panel)
  • Click on the icon that shows the earth and a calendar (date, time, language and regional options)
  • Click on the writing next to the image of a globe (it should open up a new window)
  • Change all the language options to the language of your choice or sometimes you have to put the country that speaks that language
  • Change tabs and do the same
  • Click on the first box at the very bottom of that window (ok)
  • Close all the windows by pressing the "x" on the top right corner of the window
  • Click on start
  • Click on the red "switch" icon (it should ask you what to do)
  • Click on the green icon (restart - should turn off and turn back on)
  • Check if it's the language of your choice.


Regards
