How to change to a different language for salesforce.com?
Resolution
With the introduction of localized versions of salesforce.com, existing organizations or users may want to change the language in which they use salesforce.com. You can now use salesforce.com in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Swedish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Thai ( Hungarian, Romanian, and Bulgarian are available only for PRM).
CHANGING YOUR PERSONAL LANGUAGE:
To change the language for your own login:
1. Click on:
Setup | Personal Setup | My Personal Information | Edit.
2. Change the Language drop-down to the language you want.
3. You may also want to modify your Locale setting to control the formatting of numbers, dates, and phone numbers.
4. Click "Save".
You should now see the salesforce.com text in the desired language.
**NOTE: Some items are not automatically switched to the new language because they are global data for your organization. Your administrator will need to change those items.
STANDARDIZING ON ONE LANGUAGE FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION:
If you want to standardize your entire company on a particular language and locale, an administrator will need to modify or translate some global data for the organization:
1. Click on:

7. Enterprise Edition administrators may also want to change the names of the standard page layouts.
**NOTE: These modifications will apply to all users in your organization even if a particular user does not switch his or her personal Language to the target language.
