Windows 7 allows you to change the display language for most of its interface. The process is pretty straightforward and will be most complete if you’re using Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise. If you’re using Windows 7 Starter, Basic, or Home, you can install Language Interface Packs, which will help convert your most used components into your chosen language. You can also change the input language for the keyboard to easily type in other languages.

Learn the difference between language packs and Language Interface packs (LIPs). Traditional language packs translate the majority of UI elements and are only available to Ultimate and Enterprise users (see section above). For other versions, the language interface pack LIPs will be used. This is a smaller package that translates the most used parts of the interface. Language packs LIPs require the computer to have a background language installed because not all parts of the interface can be language switched. [4] X Research Sources
