Mac gurus

Can someone give me a very detailed dumbed down explanation how to change the language setting for a Mac? Pictures with arrows would be awesome.

I am at my mom's house and her friend changed her settings to chinese. She wants to change it back but I can't read chinese, therefore I can't change the setting since I am unfamiliar with what tabs normally go where since I work off a PC.

Thanks!!

Gina

I'm no guru, but on my macbook pro running osx 10.4, there's a flag in the upper right hand corner to the left of the clock. Click the flag and there will be an american one there, or possibly british, etc, click that. If that's not there, the option at the bottom of that tab is "open international". From there you can scroll down to the american flag, which should return it to the prior settings. Hope that helped.

Thanks guy! Love the tutorial Thunderex, it was awesome! The computer is fixed!

Tommy, due to family drama, I just ended up coming in for the wedding and flying right out. I was going to stay for a week and catchup with everyone but I think I would have killed a family member. I have to go back when there is less going on and when it gets warmer since my mother refused to turn on the heat. It was 61 degrees in the house.
