I have a new business and deal in laptops. Two weeks ago somebody cheated me and sold three used laptops with Japanese bios and marks. I need help in converting their bios to English. Can anybody help me and let me know some way out.

Yeah.... the keyboard has Japanese layout as well as Japanese characters mared on it. This is another trouble. Any solution for this also.

You should be able to order english keyboards from the manufacturer, assuming they're brand name systems, like IBM. You should also be able to flash an English BIOS, assuming you can ID the systems.
What's the make and model?

You can also simply buy keyboard stickers... these are cheaper and always available.

Thanks a lot... could you please let me know some resources about flashing a bios. I haven't done it before but have no choice other than learning and experimenting. I would be grateful if you could identify some resources for learning the process. ... Regards
