With or without paragraph styles, it should always be enough if you
just change the language of [Basic Paragraph]. Also, if you change the
language of the Basic Paragraph without having any document open, all
your new documents will be in that language (unless they are based on a
template that uses another language).
If your copy was styled – and free of other modifications – you could then move your cursor through each paragraph and use the keyboard shortcut for Redefine Style to udpate your style sheets.
Piece of cake, no?
Hope it helps.

I have the same problem of the person who posted the original message in this thread.
I carefully followed your instructions to change the language of all the stories, but after selecting the language in the Advanced Character Formats window and pressing OK, I go back to the Find/Change window and the Change All button is disabled. (On top of the "Change to" field in the Find/Change dialoh there is a little yellow triangle with an exclamation point. If I place the pointer on top, it says "Replace format exists".) Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Have you click the Show Options button in Find/Change to see what formats you're applying?

Thanks for your post.
There is no "Show options" button in the Find/Change dialog box.
However, I have just been able to solve the problem. Instead of leaving the Find Format Settings box empty, as suggested by Phaedra, I chose the source language (Spanish) there. And, of course, the target language (English) in Change Format Settings. And it worked.
But I'm still curious about the "Show options" button, which I don't see in the Find/change dialog box. There is only a Fewer Options/More Options button.
