Note: The client computer's primary root account language is the one that was selected in the Mac OS X Setup Assistant. The administrator account's primary language is whichever the administrator has selected for her (non-root) administrator account at any given time. The root account language of the administrator's computer is not a factor.
Individual users of the client computers are still free to choose any language, so long as the client computer's root user language matches the administrator's current choice. Remember to choose the same language on all computers during initial setup.
To change or view the root account's language preference on a client computer that has already been set up, follow these steps:
1. Log in as the root user at the client computer. For help with this step, see technical document 106290, "Mac OS X: About the root User and How to Enable It".
2. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
3. From the View menu, choose International.
4. Click the Language tab.
5. Drag the most preferred language to the top of the list. In this case, make sure the same language is at the top of the list on both the client and administrator computers.
