Have you tried this:

To Show the Language Bar
To show the Language bar (using Classic view in Control Panel):
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional and Language Options.
On the Languages tab, under Text services and input languages, click Details.
Under Preferences, click Language Bar.
Select the Show the Language bar on the desktop check box.

There is no preferences tab. It is on the bottom of the Settings tab after you click the details button.

From Control Panel double click Regional and Language Options
Select the Languages tab
Click Details...
Click Languages... at the bottom of the window that comes up. Notice above this button it is labelled Preferences. Is this section of the settings tab not showing?
Check Show the Language bar on the desktop

I had the same problem - my Language bar button was not in active mode( in Control Panel > Reg. and Language Options> Languages > Details > Settings Tab). That was because in Advanced Tab I had checked Turn Off Advanced Text Services. Uncheck this and press Apply then go back to Settings Tab. Now Language bar button should be active.

Nice tip, Stefan Dimov, but this old thread has done its time now and is being closed. Your advice will still be visible but there are plenty of more current threads in which to post good advice.
