After you select this, it should take to back to the Settings you were at earlier.

Click on the language you selected, then Options.

It should now say installed.

Click the language again and then Set as Default.

Close that Settings windows and select the correct keyboard input to use on the taskbar at the bottom right.

Now reboot the server to complete the configuration and enable the new language.
