Hello Cheryl,
To select your language in System Preferences, go to the International
pane, select the Language tab, interact with the Languages Table, go
to the language you wish to use, use Drag and Drop to move it to the
top of the list.
Drag and Drop: make sure that the VO cursor and the mouse are on the
item you wish to move, press VO-Command-Shift-Space bar to pick up and
hold the mouse, turn tracking off, move VO cursor to the place you
wish to put the item, move mouse to VO cursor, turn tracking on again,
press VO-Command-Shift-Space bar to release the mouse.
Select the third tab if you want to change the keyboard layout.
Interact with the table and use Shift-click to select the keyboard
layout(s) you want. Check the Show Input Menu in Menu Bar checkbox. In
this way, you can verify the existing keyboard layout and change it
when you want to.
When you change the keyboard layout from the Status Menu, it takes
effect immediately.
Cheers,
Anne

Hi Anne.
Thanks so much for your explanation.
Just to make sure I am doing things right, can you explain the
Languages tab in International; I'm assuming that's where I change
the language?nnFirst there's a table and then there are two
different sets of edits; that's not a complete description but I'm
not in front of the mac at the moment. Do you just interact and
select the language? Also, should you change the system voice too so
that you can benefit if other parts of Macosx are localized? Are you
then rebooting when you want to change users or are you implementing
fast user switching?
Thanks.
