  <title>Change language</title>
  <note style="important">
  <p>
  In order to be able to switch between languages on the login screen, support for the language must already be installed.  The easiest way to add support for different languages is at the time of installing your system.
  </p>
  </note>
  <p>
  If all relevant language packs are installed on your system, you can change between different languages at login.  On the login screen, the bottom panel has a drop-down menu with the available language listed.  You can switch between languages by selecting a language from this menu before entering your login password.
