Admittedly this information is old, however I had to reinstall XP on a laptop recently and after updating it with SP3 and whatever other patch/fix I needed to install, the Language Bar appeared in the taskbar.
It’s a safe assumption to say the vast majority of Windows users have absolutely no use for this – myself included. So here’s how to get rid of it.
Go to the Control Panel.
Click the Regional and Language Options icon.
Click the Languages tab. You see this:

Click the Details button.
You see this:

Click the Language Bar button at the bottom.
You see this:

Uncheck Show the Language bar on the desktop.
And that’s it.
