Question

I want to set my user and UI language settings.

Answer 1

For Mac OS-X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) the setting can be found here:

1) Open the System Preferences App

2) Click on "Language and Text" icon

3) The Language can be changed under the "Language" pane/tab

4) the User Locale setting can be changed under the "Formats" pane/tab

For older Mac versions:

User locale setting

1. Select System Preferences -> International

2. Open Formats tab

3. Select an item from the Region pop-up menu

UI language setting

1. Select System Preferences -> International

2. Open Language tab

3. Drag an item to the top of the Languages list
