changing languages

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

a friend of mine bought a computer in Japan, so all of the programs show up
in japanese language (which i CANNOT read). she can read japanese but has a
difficult time translating it to me in english. is there a way to convert
the computer to english with the push of a few buttons and back to japanese?
