You can change the language that programs use for input and output. You
can't change the language that Windows itself uses, i.e. menus and dialog
boxes. You would have to install the English language version of XP. Once
you have the English version you can install the Multilingual User Interface
Pack to get other language support.

If you just want to change the input/output language then here's a link to
help you.

You cannot upgrade or convert from one language version of the OS to
another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of WinXP
(in whatever language you want) to perform a clean installation.

Simply boot from the English WinXP installation CD. You'll be
offered the opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part
of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the order of
boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
