Changing the language on your computer is something you may want to do when you understand several languages or at least the language you want to switch your computer to. This knowledge may also come in handy when you’re giving away or lending your computer to someone who isn’t fluent or doesn’t understand the current language on your computer. You should note that changing the language on your computer won’t simultaneously change the language on your browser.
For Windows, the process is different for the different versions of Windows, so we would look at them separately.
Windows 7 And Earlier
Before proceeding, you should note that the Professional and Home Editions of Windows 7 don’t have the feature to change languages, but you can access the feature if your Windows 7 is the Enterprise or Ultimate Edition.
First go to “Start” and click on “All Programs”, then on “Windows update”. Next, click on “Optional Updates” and select the language pack you want to install, then click on “OK”. Next, click on “Install updates”, this would download and install the language pack which you selected.
Go to your “Control Panel” and click on “Clock, Language, and Region”. Next, click on the link to “change the display language”.
