The Open Access Labs computers are equipped with various keyboard language and locale settings. These are user settings that are relatively simple to change and set up.

Here are general instructions for adding a language to a roaming profile for the Open Access Labs.

Note: Use of individual language or locale options is left to the user. We can only instruct on how to add the option to your profile. This document should provide enough information to set up the language or locale of your choice.

Go to the Control Panel by clicking Start > Control Panel (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Navigating to the Control Panel

In the Control Panel, select Clock, Language, and Region > Regional and Language Options (see Figure 2).

Figure 2. Regional and Language Options

On the Format Tab change the Current Format to the desired region and language. Select Apply.

You should now see a small icon for switching the regional formatting in your taskbar. By default this icon shows EN for english (see Figure 3).
