alexinoa--The above suggestions will only allow you to change the language in the user interface (menus and dialogs) not the language of the Registry or the operating system.  In other words it will not change the language of Windows.  For that you must buy the Microsoft® Windows® XP Multilingual User Interface Pack which is available only by a volume corporate license (quite expensive) or buying a new Windows in the language you want.  An OEM version will do.
For information on changing the language using Control Panel compared to using the Multilingual User Interface  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multilingual_User_Interface
