I just got a frantic call from my mom. It seems she some how managed to switch her entire system to Japanese while trying to reset the clock. Since I've never changed the language on my computer, and I'm at work with nothing but crappy virus-laden windows boxes around me, I can't say off the top of my head how to switch it back. Trying to talk her through it wasn't working so well, since everything is now in Japanese, so she can't read what's there. Could any of you fine folks give me a quick-like-a-bunny run down on how to change it back to American English? My poor sweet mum would appreciate it very much.

Oh, she's using panther on an iMacDV

Cliff Notes:

1.) Open System Preferences (point her to the icon, if she cannot read the text)
2.) Open the International Pane (again, point her to the "Flag" icon within System Preferences if needed)
3.) Select the first tab called "Language"
4.) Drag "English" to the top of the list
5.) Logout/Login to see changes
