I believe that, actually, yes, this is where you need to add the language 
setting. That's how I could add other language GUIs. Then go to the next tab, 
Switching Options, and you can enable option "Show Country Flag", and you 
have further choices, e.g., Global, or per Application or per Window. 

Then you get the country flag in your taskbar, and after that, all you need to 
do is right-click and change. I just enabled (as an experiment), Greek, 
Russian, etc. (so that I would have an entirely different alphabet), and it 
works like that.
