Can I change the OS language?

If I buy a MacBook in Russia, I would get my Mac OsX in Russian language. How can I change the OS language to English? The keyboard would be in Russian with English letters in a smaller way. I speak Russian, but my wife doesn't, so I would like to change the OS language? Can I change the OS language within the preset OS, or do I have to buy Mac OSX in English? If I have to buy and install a new OSX in English, would my MacBook would work? Can I have both languages intercahging each other when the need arises. I want to buy a Mac for a long time, and now I have a bargain. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you!

OS X comes with 18 languages built-in. To change from one to another takes only a few seconds and just requires you to change a setting in the system preferences and then logout/login. There is no need to reinstall or buy anything extra. You can also have two user accounts in different languages for yourself and your wife.

I can't change the display language on my HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni

I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni printer that I inherited from an employee who is no longer at the company. The display screen on the printer is not showing in English, it's in some language I do not recognize (and neither does anyone else). I want to change the display language to English but the manual only shows you how to do that on the display, which I cannot read because it's not in English, hence my dilemma. Does anyone know of a way to change the display language through the computer?
Thanks

InventoryLady,
Yes that is what I did. I do not know the language that it is currently set at, so the recommendations were from using the front panel menu. The OK button is the OK button on the front panel, that would not be in another language, it is the button in between the left and right arrow- See image below #6:
Once you have hit the OK button, you can complete the steps in my earlier recommendation. Again because I do not know which language it is currently set at, I am guiding you the best I can. As for selecting the English language, I suggest using Google Translate to find out which language it is currently set at and see what their word for English is.
If you have any more questions, please let me know.
Thanks,

How can I change the internal language of an app?

So I have seen that some app under their description say that they support multiple languages. I have downloaded some Japanese apps that say that they are available in english, should it automaticly change to english or is there suppose to be some in app function to change it?

If an app supports multi-language, then the app itself should have a setting for changing it to another language.
However, there is the possibility that some of these apps don't default to the current OS language, ie show English when your OS language is English. It still starts with Japanese as the default language; and the wording of "language" setting itself maybe in Japanese.
What you can do is launch google.com/translate, type into left hand panel "Settings" or "Languange Settings", then on the right hand panel, choose translate language as Japanese. Now you should see what "Settings" would look like in Japanese.
For example:
Settings ==> 設定 (I copy and pasted from Google translate)
Language Settings ==> 言語設定
English ==> 英語
American English ==> 米語
and so on. Or you can look to see if there's anyway to contact the app developer and ask them where have they placed the language settings.

How can I change the display language in PSE 7 ???

PSE 7 was bundled with the new little Packard Bell I got recently. It was manufactured in Belgium Dutch language.
I've been able to change the system (Windows 7) to English language and "most" software changed with it, BUT PSE 7 stubbornly remains in Dutch.
Is there a setting in PSE 7 that I can change to get it into English?
Can I download an English language replacement without extra hassle of it expiring or ???
Thanks in advance for possible solutions!

I have the same problem, on the PSE7 that came with the Packard Bell
bought in France. Even if I "selected" the language when the PSE was installed from "french" to "english", only the installation window changed, the program runs stubbornly in French. I would appreciated some support from Adobe
related to langauge management. My Windows 7 was changed, of course to English.

How can i change the spelling language, (Separately from the computers language)

I have tried changing the spelling to spanish but it still has the corrector for english. As i write sometimes english and sometimes spanish i want to know how to change the entire spelling language in my computer.

Spelling language may be changed per application, not globally. First of all, deactivate automatic spelling, if you use more languages (I am not satisfied with this, perhaps because I also use custom keyboard layouts beside the default ones) in Sys Prefs/Language and Text.
Then, choose spelling language per app, this is usually placed in Edit/spelling and grammar; Pages has it somewhere else, under TExt/More (right option), then spelling language down right. For examnple, my spelling options in Safari, when writing this text, are as attached:

How can I change the startup language when I use the internet?

I have the macbook pro that i have just bought in Russia. The reason I bought it here is because I wanted to have both the English and Russian letters on the keyboard. Apart from that I don't care much for the Russian system, since I have always used an American version mac.
Anyway, on to the question. I have English and Russian setup as my two input languages on the computer. I know how to switch between them, and everything is fine. But, I have come across a problem that I never encountered before as all my macs have been purchased in America before this one. Every time I open a new internet window, tab, new program such as skype, it is always the Russian language that is selected, even if I have been using the American keyboard prior to that. It starts getting frustrating, especially when I get used to to typing something, and then without looking continue to type in a different page and look up to see a bunch of Russian letters making no sense.
I hope there is a solution to that, and I won't just have to get annoyed with this for the rest of my relationship with my new macbook pro!
