If my comment of learning Japanese doesn't work, do the following:

(may be an easier way, just haven't learnt it yet!)

Open up an Explorer window, and click on Computer

enter image description here

Once in Control panel, click on Language

enter image description here

From here, make sure your language is added, if it isn't add it.

enter image description here

Next, move your language to the top of the list and that should be enough to make it the system default. If it doesn't, click the Advanced settings button on the left.

enter image description here

From here you should be able to install additional languages. Put in the Windows disk and browse to the Langpacks folder on that disk.

(Giving all these pictures as if you are not using your language, the visual clues may help!)
