You'll need to have Service Pack 3 installed in order to use these language packs. Click here and look for your language in the list. If the language you want is listed, and you are currently using the required base language, click the "Get it now" link to download the pack.
If your desired language is not listed, or you aren't using the right base language, see the next step. Run the downloaded installer and follow the prompts to install the pack. Once the installation is complete, you'll see your changes take effect after restarting.
Understand the process. While it is not technically possible to change the base language without reinstalling Windows, you can use a workaround to change the majority of the interface to your desired language. This requires downloading the Service Pack 3 update even if you already have it installed as well as changing a few registry values. Download the Service Pack 3 update in the language that you want to change to. Visit the Service Pack 3 download page here.
Use the drop-down menu to select the language that you want to change to. Once you've selected the language, click the "Download" button and then select the second option in the window that appears. Ignore the additional options and click the blue button in the lower-right corner to download the file. Do not start installing the SP3 update yet. It won't work until you've changed the registry.
