[QUOTE="BananaPancakes, post: 430209, member: 21445"] Oops, what I was referring to when I said "first start up" was the very first time you start it up. I believe that it's much the same as Windows, where you only select the language when you install a fresh copy of OSX. I'm not sure if it's possible to switch languages for different users on the same Mac, but if you'd like to see English on both, then there might be a solution.. On my Macbook, the main language is English, but Apple does have a special Input program that you can keep in your Menubar that will allow you to type characters of a different language. For example, I can turn my "Hiragana Input" on in my menubar, and if I key in "arigatou" it will type "あっりがとう". This happens until you turn English on again, which is just as easy. I'm not sure if this is different than a traditional Japanese keyboard; you may want to ask your wife. I hope that helps. Maybe someone else can answer whether or not you can set up different languages on different user accounts. [/QUOTE]
