Basically, my college store gave me a French version of Leopard and won't let me exchange or return it... jerks. Anyway, if I install the French, can it be change to English? Would I got Prefs > International and then change that? (I'm not sure what that does Lol but I know it deals with language =/) Your input is muchly appreciated!

It's just the product # has FR in it, the box is all French, the booklet's French, the disk has French on it... I'll look into that, thanks...

Go to preferences > International You should see the language tab with a list of languages. Drag English to the top of the lists (or whatever language you want) Restart and Voila! you have an englsih OS This works for each account, so you can set-up an English account and a separate user account in French - if you wanted. |
