Ken,
you can try to offline edit the user registry file to set the language back to English.
To do this open regedit using the Administrator account. Select HKLM and click File / Load Hive.
Select the ntuser.dat in the user accounts directory and give it a name (tmp for example).
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\tmp\Control Panel\Desktop and change the values MuiLanguagePending and MultiUILanguageId to 0409.
Select the tmp key and click File / Unload hive.
If you login to the user now it should be back in English language.

We recently had an issue with Windows XP Embedded. A new version of
our enterprise antivirus package was accidentally pushed out to this
particular machine tool which has Windows XP Embedded installed for
the user interface. Once the mistake was discovered we uninstalled the
antivirus package and all was fine except Windows came back up in
Japanese instead of the English it was in before. This machine tool
was manufactured in Japan then shipped brand new to us in the US.
Also, the user account that is preconfigured to run the machine tool
software is a limited access account and doesn't have access to
Control Panel. We do have an administrator account that we can use to
perform system maintenance but it comes up in the proper English.
How can I revert the limited-access user account to English? No one
here reads Japanese.
TIA,
