Well 2 ways,
1. the browser detects and adds or installs the specified language.
2. go to Open IE > Go to Tools > Internet options > Languages > Add and u can add ur desired languge...
But dont forget to go back to ur defalut language or else ur gonna hav a tough time reading all websites in chinese

similar to what truez wrote with alittle more:
Viewing information in different languages
To view the information center user interface in another language, set the language option in your browser so that your desired language is the first one specified, clear the browser cache, and refresh your browser view.
On some browser and operating system combinations, you might have to also change the regional settings of your operating system to the locale and language of your choice.
Note: The system will display the translated documentation that has been provided by the product owner. If the product owner has not provided the documentation in your chosen language but has provided the English version, the system will display the English version by default, even if the browser language option is set to another language.
try that see if it works if not ill keep lookin
ADD: or try this webpage:

You may want to check the character encoding in your browser. If you are viewing a Chinese site, set the character encoding to Chinese or UTF-8. It should be under the View drop down menu.
Most computers already have Chinese fonts installed on them. If not, try to get a font called 'Arial Unicode MS' it has like 50,000 letters from languages from around the world. And is about 23mb. You can get it by installing Microsoft Office, or if you're lucky you might find it in someone's FTP. lol
