Default Set up of User Accounts

Please can anyone tell me how I set a second user account in a different language to the main (administrator) account. I want the main account in English but the second user account in Chinese.
Thankyou

It's simply not possible to run a single installation of WinXP in two
separate languages, differentiated by user account. You'd have to
create a dual-boot scenario, using an English copy of WinXP and a
Chinese copy of WinXP.

Additionally, you may be able to come up with a workable solution using
WinXP MUI (Multilingual User Interface) capability. This site looks
like it will help point you in the right direction:
