To change the system language I had to rely on a "how to": 
 
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17528/change-the-user-interface-language-in-ubuntu/

The bits I was confused with were:
1. Once I had installed the desired language I expected its color to change 
from grey to black. 
    I also semi expected it to jump up to the top of the list for use as a 
system language. 
2. It was not obvious to me that I had to click on the greyed-out language and 
drag it up the list. 
    Because it was grey I thought it was not available.
    However it was obvious to me that I could rearrange the black colored 
languages.
