Vietnamese is not one of the supported languages. But you can change what language the backoffice user should be using in the "Users" section. But currently Vietnamese is not supported.
But if you submit a feature request about it on the issue tracker and make a pull request with a translated language file then I think there is a good chance that HQ will accept it and merge it in so future versions have a vietnamese translation out of the box.
I think it would be nice if you would take the time to contribute :)
If you want to extend your current installation with a Vietnamese translation I think you should have a look in the /umbraco/config/lang folder and make a copy of the en.xml and make a translation of it into Vietnamese. I'm not 100% that it works though but it's the option that you should try out. Make sure to recycle the app pool when you're done translating and the file is renamed appropriately,
Glad you got it working - If you don't mind I think you should take the opportunity to make a feature request on the issue tracker for support of the vietnamese language and make a pull request for it since you have already done the work. Then it might as well be included in the core :-)

If you don't know how to make a pull request you can learn more about it by reading this article by Sebastiaan http://24days.in/umbraco/2014/your-first-pull-request/
The currently supported language are placed here in the source code on GitHub https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/tree/788a0241d828cecd09f84a2a356b643422c6599c/src/Umbraco.Web.UI/umbraco/config/lang and if you for instance make a copy of the en.xml file and name it vi.xml (or what the short code for Vietnam is) and then translate this file and make a pull request on the feature request on the issue tracker then there is a chance it will get into the core https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/tree/788a0241d828cecd09f84a2a356b643422c6599c/src/Umbraco.Web.UI/umbraco/config/lang
