Re: Cant find language packs?
Raveex
Hi.
I find solution!
At installation do not enter your OEM a key and do not activate system
with it.
Why? It is not hard to guess, that there is a conflict of key country
language and language of system.
Have Fun! Good luck!

Can anyone tell me why this bs is still an issue on Windows? Is there
any good reason why MS can't just include all languages and let you
choose which one you want to use like Apple does? Or at least, provide
the language packs as free downloads? They're useless without a licensed
copy of the OS anyway, why not let people download them?

operating system, Ultimate and Enterprise. This is and has been well
documented for several years. If you purchased a different one, then you
will need to use Anytime Upgrade to get the version that offers the feature
you want. Microsoft does not offer these for all versions for their own
business reasons which no one here is privy to, but it's not an "issue" as
there is a perfectly viable solution.

Too bad it's not an issue. Because issues sometimes get... you know...
resolved. Looks like this mess is just how things are.
Why should I upgrade to Ultimate just so I can use my friggin PC in a
language I understand? How am I even supposed to navigate "Anytime
Upgrade" when I can't read a single thing on the screen?
Anyway, I found a solution in some application called Vistalizator
which will install language packs on the regular home version of
Winblows (why so many different versions anyway?). The down side is,
switching languages is a system wide setting, and requires a restart.
So, no chance of setting a different language for each user. Funny how
this never comes up in those stupid side-by-side comparisons of Mac vs
Win but they always compare useless stuff like installation procedure.
Fact is, Mac completely smashes Windows when it comes to
multilingualism.
One more thing. Everyone here is privy to MS's "business reasons" for
not including such basic functionality in their OS: they expect you to
give them more money.
