You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, have a look at
the information here and see if it helps:

If you need to input in Chinese, there are links to the appropriate IME's at

While the language bar controls the active keyboard layout, the language
setting in IE controls the prefered language on websites. S ome webservers
(like micosoft.com) take this setting
into account and display the content in the user's (prefered) language.
