Only Vista Ultimate supports switching languages. So you'd have to
upgrade whatever version you're using to Ultimate (unless you're
already there), then apply an English language pack.

Two ways around this have recently come to light. Microsoft has
recently released language packs for all versions of Vista at the
download center: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/. Apparently these
don't translate quite *everything* in the UI, and it may take a bit of
searching to find the one you need, if it exists at all.

Another possibility is http://www.froggie.sk/, which claims to allow
you to use the Ultimate language packs with any version of Vista. I
have no experience with this myself.
