You cannot change the user language from the control panel yet. This can 
only be done in the first stage installer.

I am currently working on locale support for the second stage setup. One
part of this task is to add dynamic loading of keyboard layout DLLs.
That's what I'm working on right now.

We won't be able to fix this until 0.3 gets published.

This part of ReactOS is not used by the GUI components. The more
important parts are located in lib/kernel32/misc, for example lang.c.
