The following Websites explain the method to localize your computer. This will enable your computer to display and input in your target East Asian languages (e.g., Chinese, Japanese, etc.). For localizing your computer for Russian, follow the direction provided by your instructor rather than the direction below.

Windows 7	Use "Windows Help and Support" from the "Start" button on the Task Bar. Search for "Install or change a display language" and click on the following and follow the instructions. (If the Japanese language interface pack is not preinstalled, you may have to install it first.) > To install a display language > To change your display language
Windows Vista	Go to Windows Vista Help and click on the following items or directly jump to the last "Change Language" below. Click on Desktop and Personalization. Click on Change Language.
Windows XP	Visit the Windows XP Documentation Page at Microsoft Technet, and click on "Add Language Support".
Windows 2000	Not supported
Windows 98/ME	Not supported
Macintosh	For Mac OS OS X (10.3 or higher preferred), you open System Preferences and select "International" and choose your target language there. You may need to install additional fonts using the appropriate Mac OS X install disc. For more help, go to Help menu of Finder and enter "input method" to display more information. You will need to check the appropriate "Input Menu" for your language. For earlier versions, visit AppleCare Support and enter the search for "multilingual" within the knowledge base. Look for help documents that matches your OS version.
