-  <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.

-<!-- Should also mention that the Languages capplet in the control centre can be used for this -->

+  <p>You can use your desktop and applications in any of dozens of languages, provided
+  you have the proper language packs installed on your computer.</p>
+
+  <steps>
+    <item><p>Click your name in the top bar and select <gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>
+    <item><p>Click <gui>Region and Language</gui>.</p></item>
+    <item><p>Select your desired language on the <gui>Language</gui> tab.
+    Some translations may be incomplete, and certain applications may not
+    support your language at all. Any untranslated text will appear in the
+    language the software was originally developed in, usually American
+    English.</p></item>
+    <item><p>You have to log out and back in for language changes to take
+    effect. Click your name in the top bar and select <gui>Log Out</gui>
+    to log out.</p></item>
+  </steps>
+
+  <p>There are some special folders in your home folder where applications
+  can store things like music, pictures, and documents. These folders use
+  standard names according to your language. When you log back in, you will
+  be asked if you want to rename these folders to the standard names for
+  your selected language. If you plan to use the new language all the time,
+  you should update the folder names.</p>
